Farmstead still in use (now called Dambrae), depicted on the 1st edition OS map as two L-plan buildings which are aligned around a central court open at the north-east and south-west. There are three outbuildings and a series of sluices and a pond shown to the south on the artificially channelled burn. By the 2nd edition map the outbuildings have been removed. The 2005 map shows that the remains of the L-shaped buildings have been modified into a much larger structure. The site of the pond has not been developed. A survey of the possible lade west of the farmstead was carried out by Headland Archaeology on 2012 ahead of the Aberdeen Western Peripheral Route. The channel runs west-east to the north of the present road and is shown on OS 1st edition map. It is not clear whether it is an enhancement of an earlier watercourse of wholly artificial. A photographic survey of the steading was carried out in 2014 prior to its replacement.
