Mid 19th century stone built farmhouse with steading range of outbuildings, which may possibly be earlier. The farmhouse retains a slated roof whilst the outbuildings including an L-shaped in plan range are now unroofed.
The farmstead and outbuildings are depicted as roofed on the 1sr Edition of the OS 6-inch map (Orkney and Shetland (Orkney) 1882, sheets cxxvi) and annotated 'Burwick'. The Object Name Book of the Ordnance Survey (ONB), describes the farm as 'Applies to a substantial farmhouse and offices which is situated on the Southe=west side of South Ronaldsy and at the north end of Burwick, the property of the Earl of Zetland'.
Name Book 1880.
