The settlement is situated on the edge of a terrace to the SW of Auchenfedrick Cottage and comprises a tower and a long building which lie parallel to one another. The ENE end of the building has been demolished to make way for the construction of a drystone dyke.

The tower, which is reduced to a stony heap, measures 7.7m from ENE to WSW by 6m transversely over rubble-faced walls 1.4m in thickness and up to 1m in height. The building, which comprises at least two compartments, with an entrance visible in the SSE side of the WSW compartment, measures more than 12.3m from ENE to WSW by 4.4m transversely within rubble-faced walls 1.05m in thickness and up to 0.5m in height, with an extension 5.5m in length on the WSW.

(Nith 262-3).
