Farmstead, Langside Burn. This farmstead is situated on the left bank of the Langside Burn half a mile WSW of Stennishope, at a height of about 880 ft. OD. It consists of a D-shaped area of which the arc is formed by a loop of the burn and the chord by a ditch with a bank on its inner side. The area measures 60 yds. in length from NE to SW along the chord, and the same transversely. The enclosure can be entered from the W by a traverse across the SW end of the ditch. The remains of a small, stony subrectangular foundation lie in the SW angle of the enclosure, and a similar ruin just outside the NE angle.

As described by RCAHMS, except that the chord is formed by a ditch with a bank on either side of it, not on its inner side only.
