This farmstead is situated about 300m NE of Balnasuim steading. Oblique aerial photographs (RCAHMSAP 1996 and 2004) show two roofless gable-ended buildings standing at the N and E sides of a yard, with a third rectangular structure, possibly a small outhouse, between them. In addition, the aerial photographs show a kiln about 50m to the W, and another roofless building about 40m to the WSW of that. All these structures, with the exception of the outhouse, are depicted on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map (Perthshire 1867, sheet lxix), the buildings being shown as roofed, and the kiln being identified as a limekiln. The same structures appear again on the 2nd edition of the map (Perthshire 1900, sheet lxixNW), though the outlying building to the W and part of the building on the E side of the yard are shown as roofless. John Farquharson's 1769 Survey of the North Side of Loch Tay (National Archives of Scotland, RHP 973/1, Plan 11) depicts a settlement here comprising seven buildings and two enclosures, with an eighth building about 100m SW of the main group at approximately NN 6707 3859.
