The monument comprises the remains of three circular houses (hut circles) of the Bronze Age and the remains of a contemporary field system, marked by field clearance cairns. The houses are between 9m and 13m in diameter. The area to be scheduled measures a maximum of 200m E-W by 90m transversely, to include the hut circles and field system, and an area around them in which traces of activity associated with their use will survive, as marked in red on the attached map.

The monument is of national importance as the well preserved remains of three Bronze Age houses, with the remains of a contemporary field system, which have the potential to increase our knowledge of prehistoric settlement and agriculture. They are of particular importance because of the proximity of other monuments of similar date; taken together they have the potential to enhance considerably our understanding of the development and organisation of the prehistoric landscape.
