An arc of outer facing stones is well preserved to the W. The entrance is to the SSE. The cairns extend c100m to the SE and c50m to the NNW of the hut-circle. To the N a further small cairnfield lies about 30m NW of an old field boundary, just below the crest of the hill and extends about 100m SE of the recent plantation.
