The farmstead of Repentancehill has been identified from oblique aerial views taken in April 2010 (RCAHMSAP 2010), situated about 320m SSW of Repentance Tower (NY17SE 2).
The remains of the farmstead are unroofed, though the current OS digital maps show it partially roofed. Visible are the remains of at least five structures or buildings, one of which is the L-shped in plan farmhouse and what may be a farmworkers cottage.
The farmstead is depicted as roofed on the 1st Edition of the OS 6-inch map ( (Dumfriesshire 1862, sheet lvii), which shows four roofed buildings with a well.
Information from RCAHMS (DE), April 2010
