An unnamed farmstead depicted as roofed on the current OS digital maps situated on the S side of a bay annotated as 'The Brook' has been identified on oblique aerial views taken in 2008 (RCAHMSAP 2008).
The map shows a L-shaped building, which on examination of the images is two buildings within a group. Several of the buildings retain their roofs whilst at least three are now unroofed.
The farmstead is depicted as roofed on the 1st Edition of the OS 6-inch map (Orkney and Shetland (Orkney) 1882, sheet cxxv).
This farm was probably one of those abandoned in the 1970's.
Information from RCAHMS (DE), February 2009
