A farmstead comprising two rectangular buildings, a hut and an enclosure is situated on the leading edge of a bracken-covered terrace to the W of the coniferous plantation on Ashentrool. The two buildings (MENS97 10, 11) are turf-banked and measure 8.4m by 2.8m internally and 8.5m by 5m overall respectively. The hut (MENS97 12) measures 3.7m by 2.3m internally and lies just to the S of the rectangular turf-banked enclosure. A deeply hollowed trackway approaches the farmstead from the SW.
The terrace to the N is covered by faint rigs and intermittent banks (NS 8230 9990), forming part of a field-system which is visible on vertical aerial photographs (RAF 106G/SCOT/UK120, frame no. 3112, 20 June 1946) extending into the plantation.
