This settlement, which is situated to the ENE of Auchrynie farmsteading, has been recorded as parchmarks on vertical aerial photography (OS/66/142, print no. 319, 4 July 1966). It is oval on plan, measuring about 80m from NE to SW by about 60m transversely within a ditch about 3m broad. The N arc of ditch is obscured by a track and field boundary and there are two possible gaps in the ditch in the SSE and SE.
