The OS Object Name Book (ONB) describes the steading as 'A farmsteading one storey high partly thatched and partly slated and in good repair. Property of the Duke of Sutherland'.
Name Book 1879
This is a multi-period farmstead dating from the 1820s and the1850s. There is an L-shaped plan range consisting of a barn with threshing machine and water-wheel site in one wing and lofted stables and livestock sheds in the other. In the area within the 'L', there are the later covered cattle courts and outward-facing cartsheds. There is also a freestanding cartshed to the W with, at one end, a dovecot over the henhouse. The farmstead was disused when visited and was generally in poor, and in some parts bad, condition.
Visited by RCAHMS (GJD), July 1994 and November 1996; see NMRS MS 744/130/2.
