A minor deserted settlement with head dyke, extending across a main road. It is mainly denoted by rig-and-furrow cultivation and heaps of cleared stones.
There are amorphous ruins of a single, probably contemporary enclosure (see NC45NE 5).
Buildings which existed are presumed to be robbed to build a later walled enclosure and sheepfold.
Visited by OS (NKB) 5 October 1978.
This possible township comprising one enclosure and a sheepfold are depicted on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map (Sutherland 1878, sheet xxiv). The township containing an enclosure and one unroofed building outside the head dyke on the current edition OS 1:10,000 map (1989).
