Two shieling-huts and what may be a pen or a store are situated on a narrow terrace on the SE flank of Muclich Hill, about 150m SE of the summit. The larger of the two huts measures 5m from NE to SW by 2m transversely within a low boulder wall and there is an entrance, flanked by orthostats, in the SW end. The hut has been set into the top of an oval mound measuring 11m from NE to SW by 8m transversely and up to 1m in height. The second hut, which has also been set into a mound, some 20m to the SW, measures 4m from NE to SW by 2m transversely within grass-grown wall-footings. An oval setting of boulders, measuring up to 1.7m across internally, which lies between the two huts, may be pen or some form of store. In rough ground immediately S of the huts there is a grass-grown bank. Two further shieling-huts may be indicated by mounds at NS 00909 72695 and NS 00903 72684, some 70m to the SW.
