Description
A settlement comprising two hut circles (NPRNs ) and a cairnfield is located on a gently sloping terrace on the south side of Pant Sychbant, now adjacent to forestry.
The area to the immediate west of the hut circles is stony and uncleared. That to the east is relatively stone free but is occupied, in addition to the huts, by at least eight stone piles.
The cairns are stony mounds overgrown with light vegetation. Most measure around 3m in diameter and 0.2m-0.3m high. An irregular stony scatter measures 10m across and 0.2m high. A linear pile has dimensions of 10m (NE-SW) long and 3.5m wide on the south-west, 1.5m wide on the north-east.
