The National Monuments Service's description
One of a group of ten, closely associated monuments, comprising a large, prehistoric enclosure (WI027-043001-), a standing stone (WI027-043002-) and eight hut sites (WI027-043003- to WI027-043010-). Situated in the N quadrant of an enclosure (WI027-043001-). A partially robbed-out hut site is defined by a number of stones enclosing a slightly oval area (diams. 5m E-W; 4m N-S). There is a possible entrance formed by two low orthostats (Wth 1m) set tangentially to the circumference of the circle. (Corlett 2004, 80-90)
