This farmstead is situated in rough ground 40m N of the manse at Croc-an-Raer . It comprises a rectangular building platform, measuring 12m from N to S by 6m overall, which has been cut back into the gentle slope on the N and E and slightly terraced on the S and W. Coursed walling along the E side of the platform is probably part of a later field boundary, but other fragments of grass-grown stony banks to the NW may be the remains of other buildings. The manse and its outbuildings appear to date to c. 1835, when the new parish church (NS06NE 64) was built, and they do not incorporate anything of the earlier farmstead.
