Farmstead still in use. The OS 1st edition map shows a U-shaped steading open to the south, with a rectangular building partially filling the south side. A larger rectangular building stands to the east of the steading. To the north-west is an elongate pond with sluice. The layout remains largely unchanged on the 2nd edition map, although the easternmost building appears to have been replaced by another on a different orientation and with an attached enclosure. This remains in use, but only the north range of the steading is depicted as roofed on current OS maps. The west wing is shown as roofless whilst the east wing and the smaller building on the south side of the court have been removed. RCAHMS records this as the location of the pre-improvement village of Christ's Kirk, depicted on an estate map of 1758 held by the National Archives of Scotland as three rows of yards and houses arranged around a T-junction of streets. Two of the rows face each other across a north-south street that includes the church in the eastern row. The third row lies on the north side of the road forming the T-junction, which leads from Temple Croft to Old Flinder. The modern buildings that occupy the south end of the street past the church have replaced a 19th-century farmsteading.
