Situated on a low rise within an area of heather-covered moorland overlooking a group of hut-circles (NO 15 NW 14), there are the remains of a building. Internally it measures 16.2m in length and varies from 3.5m in width at the NNW end to 5.2m at the mid-point and 2.8m at the SSE end; its walls have been reduced to turf-covered banks (up to 1.4m in thickness and 0.4m in height) and the entrance is situated midway along the W wall.
At the N end of the building there is an enclosure measuring 15m N-S by 9m within a low bank (1m thick and 0.4m high); it is defined by a bank which springs from the NE angle of the building and returns on the N side of the entrance.
Situated about 18m NNW of the enclosure there are the remains of a small building; it measures 3.7m NNW-SSE by 2.2m within stone wall-footings up to 0.8m in thickness and 0.2m in height and there is a possible entrance in the W side. The building appears to overlie a bank which extends past the W side of the larger building and enclosure.
