Source: R McLellan 1977
A ruined farmstead situated on a level shelf on an E-facing hillslope overlooking the sea. It consists of one main farm building 11.0m by 5.5m over walling 0.7m wide and 1.5m high, and two smaller, much ruined outbuildings. There are also four enclosures, average size approximately 30m by 40m and a ruined corn-drying kiln. To the N and S are two larger areas of enclosed land, but no evidence of rig and furrow.
