A farmstead, comprising one unroofed building is depicted on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map (Island of Lewis, Ross-shire 1853, sheet 25). One unroofed building and three enclosures are shown on the current edition of the OS 1:10000 map (1974).

The remains of lazy beds have been recorded on oblique aerial photography (RCAHMSAP 2004) extending to the N of the farmstead. A modern building lies within the area of the lazy beds, immediately to the N of the farmstead.
