Remains of a farmstead shown on the OS 1st edition map as a U-plan range around three sides of a south facing court, with attached enclosures to north and south. The site was visited by RCAHMS in 1998. The farmstead remained in use after the beginning of the 20th century. The range survives to a height of 4m at the northeast corner, but much less elsewhere. On the north side of the court there is a byre measuring 27.5m from east to west by 4.5m internally, with a single wide entrance to the north, and three smaller entrances on the south leading into the court. The west wing of the range comprises a single building, measuring 12.4m from north to south by 4.3m internally. The east wing of the court contains a two-compartment building, measuring 12.4m from north to south by 4.5m internally. The lack of a separate dwelling at the steading suggests that it must have been incorporated into the range, either in the east or west wings. The court contains a shallow midden hollow and the remains of a sheep-dip.
