There are two rows of miners cottages on the SW of a fence on a terrace to the N of the Culloch Burn, of which that to the SE is depicted as roofed and named 'Thorn Row' on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map (Stirlingshire 1864, sheet xxxv), but both are depicted as roofed on the 2nd edition map (Stirlingshire 1899, sheet xxxv). Both buildings had been abandoned by the time of the revised edition of the 2nd edition map (Stirlingshire 1922, sheet xxxv, revised 1913). That to the SE is overgrown with hawthorns and measures about 33m from NW to SE by 6m over rubble-faced walls 0.55m thick standing to 0.6m in height. That to the NW is less overgrown and measures 26.5m by 4.8m internally within walls of similar construction and height.
