Three buildings and an enclosure are situated on a rocky knoll on the SW side of the Black Water 500m NW of Ruievard. The larger of the three buildings, which is set end-on to the enclosure measures about 12.3m by 4.3m over walls 0.7m in thickness and up to 0.75m in height. There is a possible doorway in the middle of the S side and the rounded W end is terraced into the slope. The second building lies to the N and is terraced into the slope to a depth of 0.85m at its N end. A third building is attached to a triangular annex to the enclosure. It stands up to 0.6m high and is cut by a drain towards its NE end.
