Full Description
It is shown on the 1st edition OS map as a U-plan steading with a horsemill attached to the south. To the south of the steading is an L-plan and a square building with an adjacent square enclosure, and to the northeast is a well. On the 2nd edition OS map a rectangular building has been added to the south-east of the steading, and the two buildings to the south have been altered or replaced with a single rectangular building. Current maps show there are extensive alterations and additions to the steading, and the other buildings and the well have been removed.
