Two enclosures, a subrectangular building and a hut may have formed a small farmstead on a grassy terrace above the farm track on the NE flank of Dumyat. The building (MENS97 112) measures 12.4m by 5.3m over a turf bank spread to 0.9m in thickness and 0.2m in height, and has been divided into two compartments. A rectangular enclosure takes in a sheltered hollow in the lee of a small knoll on the W side of the building. To the SW of the enclosure there is a hut (MENS97 111) which measures 6.7m from WNW to ESE by 3.6m internally. What may be an outshot or perhaps a different phase of construction extends for 6.5m to the N and measures 4.2m in breadth overall. A broad, sheltered terrace to the SSW is covered in faint furrows, most of which seem to lie within an incomplete enclosure measuring about 50m from NW to SE by 40m transversely. A subrectangular hut (MENS97 110, NS 8397 9831) measuring 7.9m by 4.2m over a low turf bank lies on a terrace to the NW.
