The remains of this farmstead are situated in a field of pasture about 200m SW of Burnt Hill. The steading comprises two buildings forming an L-plan arrangement with its open side facing ENE. The building on the SSW (YARROWS04 194) has been reduced to little more than a low grass-grown stony platform measuring 14m from ESE to WNW by 5m transversely; that on the WNW (YARROWS04 195) is marked by a shallow rectangular depression measuring 19m from NNE to SSW by 3m transversely.
The SSW building is depicted on both the 1st and 2nd editions of the OS 6-inch map (Caithness 1877, sheet xxix; 1907, sheet xxix), although on the latter it is shown roofless and appears to extend further to the WNW than either the earlier map or the visible remains would suggest. The other building is not shown on either map.
