The remains of a fermtoun, comprising at least thirteen rectangular buildings, extend for a distance of 190m across a broad terrace on the SE side of the Claddy House Burn. The buildings form four distinct clusters: NX 0790 6801, NX 0792 6808, NX 0791 6813 and NX 794 6816, and close to the latter there is a kiln. Around the fermtoun there are extensive traces of rig-and-furrow cultivation.
