This monument is of national importance firstly as part of a group of pre-improvement farms between the Main Water of Luce and Cairnerzean Fell and secondly as a multi-period group of monuments. It therefore has the potential to give information about the pre-improvement use and layout of the landscape over a period of time in which changes have occurred.
