This farmstead comprises two parallel buildings on either side of a courtyard, attached to the N side of which there is a larger enclosure. There is a large area of unenclosed rig on the slopes below the farmstead and this may have been cultivated from the farm.
The larger building measures 12.5m by 5.3m over stony banks up to 0.3m in height, including some large boulders, and it is terraced into the slope at the SW end. The smaller building is 9.5m long by 5.3m wide with walls which are based on large boulders up to 1m thick and is terraced into the slope at the SW end to a depth of 0.8m. A narrow terrace runs between the two buildings. The banks of the courtyard and the larger enclosure to the N are very much reduced.
