Nothing is visible of this farmsteading, which stood on land now occupied by a school. As depicted on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map (Kincardineshire, 1869, sheet iv), the steading was U-shaped on plan with its open side facing WSW. The dwelling was probably in its SSE wing and a garden was attached to the SSE side. A barn with a horse-engine attached to its WSW side stood immediately to the WSW.
The steading retained this same layout to the end of the 19th century, but the horse-engine is not shown on the 2nd edition of the map (1902, sheet iii.SE).
