This farmstead is situated on the lightly wooded east flank of Cnoc Chalmac. As depicted on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map, published in 1869, it comprised two buildings, one of them unroofed, a detached garden and a limekiln. With the exception of the kiln, all these structures are shown on the modern 1:10000 map (1971).
