Hut 'A' is 10.0m N-S by 9.0m E-W within a low wall spread to 2.5m wide. The entrance in the south arc is 3.0m wide, and is probably mutilated. 'B' is a much more massive structure being 13.3m NE-SW by 12.3m within a peat and heather-covered wall, 1.0m maximum height with a spread thickness of 3.0m widening to 4.0m at the clubbed entrance in the SW arc. Occasional inner facing stones on edge are visible.
'C' is probably of similar type to 'A', but its eastern half is destroyed by a modern beaten track. It survives as a semi-circle of heather-covered walling,built onto the hill,about 9.0m in internal diameter. The huts lie within an associated field system occupying six hectares of moorland, and best preserved at NC 876279. It is defined chiefly by clearance heaps with only occasional lynchets. Several field plots are evident, one of which measures 25.0m by 25.0m.
