The larger hut circle has a 7m diameter and it's eastern side is cut into the steep slope. The adjacent hut circle has a 5m diameter. The buildings appear to have had southern entrances.
The immediate area appears to have been used as a dumping ground for field clearances. There is a rather large clearance cairn to the south that may be covering further archaeological features of the settlement.
