Part of this fermtoun has been destroyed by recent afforestation, but six buildings and an enclosure survive on a terrace some 350m ESE of Inverchroskie House.

A. This building stands on the SSW side of the terrace and measures 11.5m from NW to SE by 6m transversely over turf-covered stone wall-footings 0.8m in thickness. Adjoining its SW side there is an enclosure.

B. To the WNW and at right angles to (A) there are the remains of a building measuring 15m from WSW to ENE by 5.6m transversely over turf-covered stone wall-footings 0.5m in thickness.

C. A two-compartment building (11m from WSW to ENE by 5.7m transversely over turf-covered stone wall-footings 0.9m thick) stands to the NNE of (B).

D. Immmediately to the NW of (C) there are the remains of what may be another building (5.7m from WSW to ENE by 4.4m transversely over turf-covered stone wall-footings up to 1m thick).

E. To the NW and roughly parallel with (D), there are the wasted remains of a building measuring 10.9m from WSW to ENE by 4.7m transversely overall.

F. Within the forestry plantation to the ENE of (E), there is a three-compartment building measuring 17.5m from NNW to SSE by 5.8m transversely over stone walls 0.8m in thickness and up to 1.4m in height (on the NNW) in six courses.
