Details	Remains of a farmstead, comprising three buildings, their walls reduced to stony banks. The largest building has two compartments and there is an outshot at the northeast end. The other two buildings are considerably smaller and are set roughly parallel to main building immediately to southeast. The surrounding area is obscured by gorse thickets but in the gaps fragments of enclosure banks are visible. The farmstead does not appear on either the 1st or 2nd edition OS maps. A small cairn is also visible on gentle west facing slope immediately west of Wood of Milleath some 100m to the northeast at NJ 46904190.
