The settlement is situated on two levels and divided by a country lane. The majority of the site being to the North West of the road. To the north west on an upper level there are a series circular buildings (two adjoined) and stone piles connected by dry stone walling. To the West on a lower level is an oval enclosure that has the remains of a couple of adjoined hut circles. On the opposite side of the road are the remains of three or more hut circles with a 4m diameter. One of the huts being more oval than round.
