These two hut-circles, one superimposed on the other, stand on a slight rise within a later field system N of Five Pennies township (NM48NE 39). The later hut-circle, which has made use of the north-east arc of the wall of the earlier one, measures 8m in diameter within a rubble wall 1.2m thick and 0.5m high. The entrance was probably on the SSE, where there is now a wide gap in the wall. The earlier hut-circle was slightly larger, measuring 13.3m from E to W over a wall now spread to 2m thick. The interior shows traces of lazy-bed cultivation.
There is a small hut, its walls reduced to stony banks, built against the outer face of the earlier hut-circle on the NNW and about 10m to the S there is an oval enclosure measuring 4.4m by 3.4m within a drystone rubble wall.
