A hut circle is situated on the W flank of Laight Moor 350m NNE of the old gun battery on the summit of Little Laight Hill. It measures about 5.5m in diameter within a stony bank 2.4m thick by 0.3m in maximum height and the entrance is on the SE. Around the entrance there is a baffle wall reduced to a stony bank 2m thick and 0.3m high; it forms an antechamber, measuring 3.5m from NE to SW by 2.2m transversely, with an entrance on the NE.

At least five small cairns are scattered to the NW of the hut circle.
