A farmstead, which comprises four roofed buildings ranged around a courtyard, is depicted on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map (Fife and Kinross 1856, sheet 16). A horse-engine house is attached to the building on the SW side of the farm. Only one building, on the SE side of the courtyard, is shown, roofed, on the current edition of the OS 1:10000 map (1974); the remainder are unroofed.
