The site comprises three substantial circular dwellings positioned at intervals of approximately 160 metres along a south-westerly alignment, situated between 695 and 855 metres south-west of the main settlement area. These roundhouses represent domestic structures typical of the Iron Age period in northern Britain, constructed with stone foundations and characteristic circular plans.
