Three subrectangular huts (MENS97 57, NS 8382 9837; 58, NS 8376 9840; 106, NS 8382 9834) and three enclosures are spread across a series of well drained terraces to the SW of the farm track along the S side of Menstrie Glen. The huts measure between 5.8m by 3.3m and 2.4m by 1.4m within turf and stone footings spread to 1.6m in thickness and up to 0.3m in height.
One enclosure is subrectangular (MENS97 59, NS 8370 9844) and measures 12.8m by 4.1m within a turf bank spread to 1.1m in thickness and 0.4m in height. There is an entrance in the NNE side and the SSW side is bowed. The nature of the walls and its relative width suggest an enclosure rather than a building. The other two enclosures (NS 8370 9837, 8379 9843) are turf-banked and square to sub-square.
