Situated in a bracken- and grass-covered valley in the rocky hills above Remusaig, there is a farmstead, a pen, and a field. The farmstead comprises three buildings, an enclosure, and what may be a small store. The largest building measures 21.4m from E to by 4.8m transversely over stony banks, 1.2m thick and up to 0.5m high, with an opening in the S. It is divided into two unequal compartments, the E of which is 3m in length and is set at a higher level than the other compartment. The NW corner of the building has been slighted by the construction of a neighbouring building, and there is a drain around the N side, where it is set into the slope. The adjacent, overlying, building (ROG95 527) measures 5.75m from WNW to ESE by 3.1m transversely within turf walls, 1.4m thick and 0.5m high, and there is an entrance on the SW. The third building has been reduced to a platform, which is set into the slope on the N and W, and measures 3.8m from N to S by 3.5m transversely. A possible store (NC 7414 0230) is set into the slope beside the peat-track that leads from Remusaig over the hills to the N. To the W there are traces of a earthen dyke surrounding a field, and there is a pen at NC 7399 0233.
