There are seven farmsteads comprising ten buildings, which are disposed over a distance of about 450m from WNW to ESE by 300m transversely, in partly wooded ground. The farmsteads are small-holder or cotter steadings of mid-19th century date, usually associated with a small field, but unlike allotted crofts, they are scattered across the landscape. The buildings are built with coursed- or random-rubble walls and range from 3.5m to 15.2m in length by 3m to 3.7m in breadth within faced-rubble walls, 0.6m to 1m thick and standing up to 2m high. One building, the longest, has been divided into two compartments (ROG95 960), and another (ROG95 404) has had a partition inserted. Six buildings have outshots or extensions to the main structure (ROG95 400-1, 403-4, 959-960), of which one is notable for having three extensions on one end and one on the other (ROG95 401). There is at least one small hut which measures 3.1m from NNE to SSW by 1.6m transversely within walls 0.6m thick and 1m high and an entrance in one side (ROG95 402).
All the main structures, except one (ROG95 960) which is unroofed, are depicted as roofed on the 1st and 2nd editions of the OS 6-inch map (Sutherland 1879 and 1907, sheet civ).
