Some 141-164 cairns ranging from 1.5m-10 by 8.5m diameter. One free standing cist (SMR 1379). Below the escarpment to the east are 4 groups of irregular or subrectangular small enclosures. One, Swine Sty (SMR1378) plus odd cairns. There appears to be some chronological depth. Above the escarpment, there are similar areas, 2 or 3 with irregular subrectangular and long thin parallel fields, again with chronological depth. The central area has linear clearances/fragmentary walls with what appears to be original breaks. There is no sign of later destruction. several of the boundaries have unexplained kinks in them that may reflect the one time presence of timber buildings.
