The monument consists of a prehistoric house, a hut circle on a low knoll in fairly level moorland.
The hut circle is oval in shape, measuring 12.5m N-S by 10m E-W. It is defined by a wall 0.2m maximum height and 1.7m wide. There are slight indications of an entrance to the S.
The area to be scheduled measures 50m in diameter, to include the hut circle and an area around in which traces of activities associated with its construction and use may survive, as shown in red on the accompanying map.
