This farmstead, comprising two unroofed buildings, an enclosure and sheepfold, have been recorded on oblique aerial photography (RCAHMSAP 2000) at the junction between Sim's Burn and Glendorch Burn. A small area of rig and field banks sit immediately S of the sheepfold, and rig is visible within the walled enclosure to the N of the farmstead. The farmstead is depicted on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map (Lanarkshire 1864, sheet xlvi) as two roofed buildings, an enclosure and two sheepfolds, which are annoted 'Rees'. The remains of Glendorch tower-house (NS81NE 1) have been incorporated into the N building.
