This farmstead, which is situated in an area of peaty moorland about 450m NE of Thrumster Transmitting Station, comprises a range containing two compartments. The WNW compartment, which stands to a height of 2.5m at the ESE gable, contains fireplaces in each end, that on the ESE being flanked by a cupboard recess on the N and the only entrance into the structure on the S. There are two windows in the SSW side, and cruck-slots are visible in the interior, three on the SSW side and four on the NNE. The ESE compartment was probably a byre, but it has been reduced to little more than grass-grown footings.
The range is depicted roofed on both the 1st and 2nd editions of the OS 6-inch map (Caithness 1877, sheet xxx; 1907, sheet xxx).
