Information from RCAHMS (AKK), 23 November 1995.
This farmstead, situated on a moderately-sloping site above valley floor on the SW of the Berriedale Water, was recorded during a pre-afforestation survey of Langwell-Rinsary Braes, Berriedale. It comprises two attached buildings forming the E side of an enclosure. The larger building on the N, measures 18m by 4m; the smaller building measures 12m by 3m.
