Remains of two hut-circles and elements of a prehistoric field system. The hut-circles are visible as upstanding turf-covered stone and roughly circular banks. The largest measures 11 m in diameter with a bank 0.3 m high and 1 m wide, and an entrance in the northwest. The second, circa 55 m to the west-southwest, measures approximately 8m in diameter within a bank 0.2 m high and 2 m wide. These lie within a a field system comprising three roughly parallel linear stony banks which drop from the slope from below the crest of the hill for up to 240 m. They lie from 50 m to 75 m apart, defining two fields each containing a hut-circle. Traces of cord-rig cultivation are visible within the fields on aerial photographs. The cord rig appears to overlie the hut-circles and field system.
