The monument consists of a later prehistoric settlement lying along
the face of a S-facing hill. There are two hut circles. Hut 'A'
measures 12m in diameter and probably has a S-facing entrance. There
are traces of subdivisions within this hut. Hut 'B' measures about
8.5m in diameter and probably also has a S-facing entrance. Abutting
on to the E wall of Hut 'B' at a lower level is a platform measuring about 5m N-S by about 4m. In the vicinity of the two huts are a
number of scattered stone clearance heaps from contemporary
cultivation plots.
The area to be scheduled measures about 280m SW-NE by about 270m SE-
NW, to include the round huts, the clearance cairns and an area
around in which traces of activities associated with the occupation
of the settlement will survive, as shown in red on the attached map.
