Full Description
Site of farmstead, depicted on the 1st edition OS map as a U-plan steading open to the east with a small rectangular building just to the south. On the later 2nd edition map, the building to the south has been incorporated into the steading, and a horsemill has been added on the south side of the steading. The steading survives today, but has been extended westwards. A building survey was carried out by Cameron Archaeology in November 2015. The steading was constructed of pink and grey granite blocks with cherry cocking, slate roofs.
