The National Monuments Service's description
In rough pasture, on a SW-facing slope. An oval area (18m N-S; 9.2m E-W) defined by a collapsed drystone wall (T 0.65m; H 0.5m). The interior slopes down to the W. The enclosure is covered in a dense growth of heather. Two hut sites (KE076-001001-, KE076-001002-) are within the interior. Another hut site (KE076-001003-) adjoins the S wall of the enclosure, externally and there is another hut (KE076-001004-) c. 20m to the SSW.
