A plan of Middleton was drawn by June Owers in her survey of deserted settlements in Unst (1970). It depicts a farmstead aligned NW-SE comprising an unroofed stone built long range of three compartments. A former croft house at the SE end has a central doorway amd flanking windows on its SW side, and a further window in the NE wall. Fireplaces are depicted in each of the croft house gables.
A farmstead comprising one roofed long building within an enclosure is depicted on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map (Orkney and Shetland (Shetland) 1882, sheet viii).
