The monument consists of a group of three rectangular stone
buildings, which formed a small post-medieval township.
The buildings measure between 10-12m in length, 7-8m in width and a maximum of 2.5m in height. To the NE of the structures there is an associated stone-walled enclosure.
The area to be scheduled measures 80m NE-SW by 50m, to include the visible remains and an area around in which traces of activities associated with their use may survive, as depicted in red on the attached map.

The monument is of national importance as a well-preserved example of a pre-improvement township, with considerable potential for the correlation of archaeological and historical evidence.
