Description

The remains of a hut group situated on rough, rocky ground. There are two round huts clearly visible towards the N end of the site. The hut to the N forms a level platform on sloping ground and is 8 m in diameter with walls 1.5 m wide and 0.15 - 0.75 m high. The entrance was probably on the E side. The hut to the SE is 5 - 6 m in diameter with walls 1.5 m wide and 0.5 - 0.75 m high. The entrance was possibly on the NW side. In 1868 the Hon. W. O. Stanley noted 12 round huts with associated enclosures on the site.

The scheduled area comprises the remains described and areas around them within which related evidence may be expected to survive.
