The monument is a pre-improvement farmstead situated in a field of improved pasture to the N of Pultadie farmhouse. It comprises a group of three rectangular buildings, each about 5m square, with a fourth building, measuring 6m by 5m, 40m to the NNW. The houses in the group are aligned roughly N-S, while that to the NNW is aligned NE-SW. The area to be scheduled includes the houses and an area around them within which traces of activity associated with their use may be found. It measures a maximum of 80m NNW-SSE by 40m transversely, bounded by, but excluding, the old drystone dyke to the SW, as marked in red on the attached map.

The monument is of national importance as a pre-improvement farmstead which has the potential to greatly enhance our understanding of pre-improvement settlement and agriculture in the area. Its importance is increased because of the survival of other farmsteads of similar date in the area; this group has the potential to increase greatly our knowledge of pre-improvement land organisation.
