Seven subrectangular, turf-banked buildings (MENS97 46-9, 56) are situated on a terrace in rough pasture on the NE flank of Dumyat. A deeply incised gully separates two of the buildings (MENS97 44, 45) from the rest of the group which lies on the E of the gully.
The buildings fall into three sizes: the largest two (MENS97 48, 49) measure 12.8m by 3.4m and 11.1m by 2.8m internally and have been divided into two compartments; three (MENS97 46, 47, 56) measure between 6.8m by 3.7m and 7.7m by 3.1m internally; and two (MENS97 44, 45) are smaller, measuring 5.2m by 3m and 5m by 3.2m internally. A hollow, possibly a midden, lies outside the entrance of one building (MENS97 46).
