The monument comprises the remains of a rectangular hut, which probably dates to the Medieval period. The Ffridd Camen long hut stands at the terminal end of a bank marking the upper end of a series of medieval strip fields which run down the slope away from the hut. The long hut stands on an earth platform and measures 7m x 19m and is comprised of two compartments. The stone foundation walls stand to a height of 0.6m. The monument is of national importance for its potential to enhance our knowledge of prehistoric/medieval settlement. The monument forms an important element within the wider prehistoric/medieval context and the scheduled area may be expected to contain a wide range of archaeological information, including chronological detail and evidence in regard to construction techniques and agricultural methods.
