On the slopes of Cock Rig to the W of Gutterford Burn, within an area of about 8 hectares lying between 350m and 400m above OD, are the remains of at least twelve rectangular and twelve small round or oval structures, three of which are associated with rectangular structures. Two other rectangular structures have sub-rectilinear enclosures of about 0.9 hectares associated with them. Within and on the perimeter of the settlement are field banks and immediately to the W of it is an area of rig. The area has been planned by the contributor.
