NS92SW 36 c.9276 2020.

A fairly well-preserved farmstead is situated at the junction of two streams with the Glencaple Burn. It comprises 'A', a turf covered stone wall, enclosing an area 28m x 5m divided by an intermediate cross wall, and subsidiary enclosures and banks attached to it.

'B': two hut foundations, 4m apart: one is 3m x 9m, and the other is 4m x 12m. A turf bank bounds them. Banks run adjacent to the farm, enclosing former cultivated fields. This system would appear to be of post-Medieval date.
