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 western quadrant of an enclosure (WI027-043001-). A larger (eastern) hut consists of an oval area (diams. 3m NE-SW; 2.5m NW-SE) enclosed by a collapsed stone wall (Wth 1m; H 30cm), abutted at west-northwest by a small annexe consisting of an oval area (diams. 2m WNW-ESE; 1.6m NNE-SSW) enclosed by a collapsed stone wall (Wth 60cm; H 30cm). There is no evidence for an entrance to the hut site or the annexe, and no evidence for access between the two where they are conjoined. (Corlett 2004, 80-90)
