The site has been disturbed by the construction of a fence through the buildings and partially obscured by the dumping of stone beside the larger building. Otherwise, the wall-footings are well-defined.
It is assumed that this is a late 18th- or early 19th-century layout, reflecting the 'improvement' of Dupin. Those areas that remain of the pre-improvement landscape are on the steeper slopes or in areas with frequent rock outcrops and therefore unsuited to mechanised methods of cultivation.

This farmstead is situated on the E side of an unnamed burn, 550m WSW of Dupin, and comprises the remains of two rectangular buildings: the larger, measuring 21m by 3.4m within stone wall-footings, has a possible outshot 4.7m long internally at its NW end; the smaller measures 6.5m by 3.4m within stone wall-footings. Stony banks springing from
each of the long sides of the larger building may have formed an enclosure.
