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 106m to the southwest of an enclosure (WI027-043001-). A sub-circular area (diams. 4m NNE-SSW; 3.7m WNW-ESE) is defined by an overgrown stone wall (Wth 1m) composed of internal and external stones facing a rubble core. A probable entrance at the east-southeast is defined on its south side by a slab set on edge transversely to the wall. (Corlett 2004, 80-90)
