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 55m to the south of an enclosure (WI027-043001-). An oval area (diams. 9m N-S; 6m E-W) is enclosed by a collapsed stone wall (Wth 1.2m-1.4m; H 1.1m) with some large stone blocks. It has been incorporated into the outer angle of a modern stone wall (from SSW-NW) and there is no evidence of an original entrance. (Corlett 2004, 80-90)
