Two roofed building, one unroofed building and some field walls are shown on the current edition of the OS 1:10000 map (1971).

Only the very N extent of the township lies within an area surveyed by Headland Archaeology (NMRS MS 899/25 no.14). One rectangular building measuring 10m by 4.5m with coursed rubble walls standing up to 1m in height was noted along with a small field.
