The farmstead of Dundurcas is depicted on the OS 1st edition map as U-shaped with open court to the southeast. Another smaller U-shaped building with open court to the east lies within the larger court. An L-shaped building lies to the south and another building to the west. A small single building lies to the north of the main block, and another to the west. This may be a mill as it lies on the line of a lade which leads from a pond in the north. By the time of the 2nd edition map the farm had been altered considerably with a new U-shaped steading in the west, with open court to the south attached to the original farmstead which has been built in over the court. A milldam is depicted at the position of the original small mill in the northwest. The lade now appears to run towards the eastern side of the farm . The mill pond has also been enlarged. Now the farm has been altered again with a number of new buildings. The mill pond and dam are no longer evident. See NJ25SE0081 for the mill lade whcih fed the mill pond from the Burn of Sourden. Field survey n May 2022 ahead of a proposed 132kV overhead line (NJ25SE0078) recorded a mortared stone wall or platform built on the overgrown south-east facing slope below the
access track to the modern farm (at the northern edge of the study area). It measures 7 m across, 1 m high and 0.4 m wide, but does not correspond to any structures on historic maps.
