The remains of Skellyheads farmstead are situated to the W of a disused quarry. It comprises the shell of a gabled cottage and parts of two other buildings set around a yard. The standing gable of the building on the E side of the yard has a small opening with a projecting sill, presumably indicating the presence of a pigeon loft. The farmstead is depicted on the 1st edition of the 6-inch map (Fife & Kinross, 1856, sheet 23) as 'ruins'.
