This farmstead comprises a well-preserved building with an enclosure, together with what are probably two earlier buildings.

The well-preserved building measures 9.8m NW to SE by 5.3m over clay-bonded walls 0.7m in thickness by up to 1m in height; the entrance is in the SW wall opening onto a stone-kerbed plinth which runs the length of the building. On the NW there is a small outshot measuring 2.7m in overall length into which a small lade runs. On the SE the line of the building is extended into the corner of the enclosure by an artificial terrace; the stone facing of the terrace is butted against the building as are the walls of the enclosure.

About 35m to the ENE there is a small building set at the SE corner of a yard. The building measures 6.7m from NNW to SSE by 4m over grass grown walls spread 1m in thickness by 0.3m in height.

A further 35m to the ESE (NO 1535 6141) there is a building measuring 7.3m from NW to SE by 4.3m over grass-grown walls, spread 1m in thickness by 0.2m in height.
