Nothing is visible of a farmsteading that stood in what is now a cultivated field 250m E of Duncanstone farmsteading (NJ52NE 66). An L-shaped range faced E, and a detached building adjacent to the SE end of the SW wing was probably the farmhouse.
The farmsteading is depicted as roofed on both the 1st and 2nd editions of the OS 6-inch map (Aberdeenshire, 1870, sheet xliii and 1901, sheet xliii.SE respectively). A farmstead is also shown at this location on an estate plan of the Town and Moss of Duncanstown drawn in 1758 (SRO: RHP 5199/7), but it is unlikely that any of the buildings depicted on it still survived in 1870.
