Field Visit (21 August 2014)
This farmstead comprises a two-storey farmhouse and a single-storey L-plan outbuilding, part of which is unroofed. Successive editions of the OS 6-inch map demonstrate that the outbuilding was constructed between 1879 and 1900 (Orkney OS Sheet CXXVI) and the farmhouse slightly later.
