Description

One of two possible hut circles lies on a gently sloping natural terrace on the north-facing side of Cwm Cadlan towards its east end, close to a forestry boundary.
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 (NPRN 301772).

Overgrown with bracken and moss, the hut circle is located 100m north-west of the first (NPRN 84533). It measures 7m (N-S) by 6.3m overall and is defined by a stony bank spread to 1.75m wide and rising to no more than 0.2m high. On the SE side there is a gap in the bank flanked, on the E, by a boulder. A large shake-hole lies to the south.
