This is an early 19th century farmsteading with an associated range of now ruinous dwellings. The steading is also in a dilapidated condition, and was constructed from roughly squared rubble, with both hipped and gabled slate roofs. Significant features include the horse-engine platform adjacent to a threshing barn, within which there is a mostly intact fixed-barn horse-powered threshing mill (with wooden peg drum). The dwellings contain impressive fireplaces with large granite lintels.
This was photographically recorded due to a possible afforestation threat.
Visited by RCAHMS (MKO), 16 December 1997.
