Depopulated settlement, including two longhouses at side of track on east bank of River Muick. Part of a dispersed settlement that also includes NO38NW0007. The OS 1st edition shows a group of four unroofed building and an enclosure linked by a dyke which also extends to the south to NO38NW0007. Survey in 2010 (Scotland's Rural Past project) recorded these four buildings and three enclosures at this location. Building A measures 5.5m by 3.1m internally with rounded corners, the walls partly reduced to grass covered footings. Building B presumed to be a winnowing barn, measures 6.9m by 3.8m internally. Building F, a byre dwelling, measures 15.2m by 3.4m internally with rounded north corners, and squared south corners. A level terrace to the west of the building may have been a garden plot or site of an earlier building. Building H measures 4.2m by 2.3m internally. To the north beyond a small enclosure, the head dyke forms two sides of a larger enclosure of circa 0.42 ha which on the estate plan of 1807-9 is shown as enclosing arable land. At NO3107886181, east and uphill of the main group of buildings, is a kiln barn (Building J), measuring circa 3.6m by 2.2m internally, scarped into the slope with a kiln bowl at the east end and the barn downslope.
