The remains of a farmstead and field-system are situated approximately 150m north of the River Gairn, west of the Wester Shenalt Burn.
The farmstead comprises five unroofed structures, lying in an area of enclosed fields. It may have been occupied until the early years of the twentieth century, as one building is shown as roofed on the 2nd edition of the Ordnance Survey 6-inch map.
