Farmstead, depicted on 1st edition OS map of 1867 as an L-plan steading with farmhouse and three rectangular buildings to the north. All of these buildings have been demolished by the time of the 2nd edition OS map of 1888. A farm with the same name is shown a short distance to the north of the earlier complex, consisting of a large L-plan steading surrounded by four rectangular buildings and a farmhouse with two dams shown to the east. Today, the steading is shown to have been extended and the farmhouse survive but the dams are not shown.
