Height OD: 134m
 

This settlement includes two longhouses, one shorter rectangular building, kiln and attached building, high mound-like structure with ruinous dray-stone built walls, yards, and enclosures.

Information from Historic Scotland (1992): "At this site are a number of houses and buildings at least two of which have been incorporated into later sheep folds. To the E are two long houses, one of which appears to have been converted into a kiln barn, and a third smaller building."
 

Note the linear field systems associated with the mid-19th century 'improved' landscape and later sheep farming, this overlies earlier, more organically-shaped, settlement patterns.
