Historic England's scheduling record (list entry 1013035) describes two hut circles that adjoin each other, are not enclosed, and stand right above Red Brook on its right bank. The downstream hut is 8 metres across, with walls 1 to 1.5 metres wide and up to 1 metre high and an entrance flanked by upright stones on its south-west side. The upstream hut is 9 metres across, with walls of similar width up to 0.5 metres high. No entrance can be seen, but it is heavily overgrown and other features may be hidden. It lies in the parish of South Brent, about 1.5 km west of Shipley Tor.
