Situated on fairly level ground amidst young birch and conifers is a wag-type homestead generally as described by the RCAHMS though details are obscured by bracken and decaying tree roots.
The walls of the oblong structure are massive, 1.0m high and faced internally with unusually large stones coursed and on edge, in contrast to the circular annexe whose walls are low and denuded; the latter resembles a hut circle of simple form. The interior of the oblong contains a quantity of large tumbled stone (similar in size to the facing slabs) of which three, if in situ, resemble the stalls of a wag-like structure.
Though similar in some respects to other homesteads in the area (NC80SE 25 and NC91SW 32) it differs in that the circular annexe is subsidiary to the oblong structure rather than the reverse.
