The remains of what appears to have been a homestead overlain by a later building are situated in a cultivated field on sloping ground above the N bank of the River Braan, about 140m WNW of Newton Bridge. It comprises a sub-circular enclosure, levelled into the S-facing hillside, which measures about 17.5m in diameter over a faced-rubble wall 1.8m in thickness and standing up to 0.5m high. A gap, 2.9m wide, on the SSW indicates the probable position of the entrance. The wall has been extensively robbed; ploughing has obliterated it on the N and E, and a later building, aligned approximately N-S and itself robbed, overlies the SE quadrant.
