Full Description
It is shown on the 1st edition OS map as an S-plan farmstead with a well. On the 2nd edition OS map a building has been added to the east, almost joining to form a U-plan range at the eastern end.
Current maps show only one rectangular building remains. A walkover survey was conducted in 2008 and a desk-based assessment in 2014 (EAB4399) recorded the building as an unroofed rubble-built structure.
