Internal dimensions, 'A' to 'D' respectively, are 13.0 by 12.0m, 11.5m diameter, 15.0 by 13.5m and 11.0m diameter; the entrance in each is in the ESE quarter, and is on the longer axis when applicable. Walls are heather or turf-covered standing, in hut A to 0.6m high, and spread to 1.5-2.0m broad. A group of shielings (NC63NE 44) intrudes on the west side of the settlement.
