This possible settlement lies on gently sloping ground in a field above and to the S of the Lochfitty Burn. Although poorly defined, the intermittent cropmarks recorded on aerial photographs (RCAHMSAP 2003) suggest a circular enclosure about 20m in diameter across a ditch about 2m wide. A dark macula within the enclosure may represent the remains of a roundhouse about 10m in diameter. The field also has extensive cropmarks of field drains.
