This unenclosed settlement is situated on a S-facing slope to the E of Kirkton Barns and has been recorded as cropmarks on oblique aerial photographs (RCAHMSAP 1988, 1994, 1996 and 2004). It consists of a scatter of at least seven ring-ditches, crescentic and circular, which indicate the sites of round houses, enclosures and pits, as well as markings of geological origin.
