The monument comprises a farmstead of post-medieval date, visible as an upstanding monument.
The monument lies within an area of rough grassland and bracken, at a height of around 215m OD, and comprises the foundations of three buildings and two enclosures. The monument is depicted as a ruin on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map (Linlithgowshire 1856, sheet viii).
The area to be scheduled is a rectangle 60m NW-SE by 45m transversely, to include the remains described and an area around them in which evidence relating to their construction and use may survive, as marked in red on the accompanying map.
