Site of a farmstead. On the 1st edition OS map it comprised one unroofed long building with an outshot, another unroofed structure and an enclosure. It had been removed by the time of the 2nd edition map. A watching brief was carried out by Headland Archaeology in November 2015 during groundworks for the Aberdeen Western Peripheral Route. This recorded walls of the north end of the structure shown on the OS 1st edition map.
