A farmstead comprising two unroofed buildings, one of which is a long building of three compartments, one unroofed structure and one enclosure, and a field-system with an attached unroofed structure are depicted on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map (Orkney and Shetland (Orkney) 1882, sheet lxxxiv). The field-system is conjoined to the head-dykes of the farmsteads of Tafts (HY33SE 44) and Dale (HY33SE 58).
One unroofed building and the fragmentary remains of the field-system are shown on the current edition of the OS 1:10000 map (1977).
