The township was Scheduled by Histroric Scotland in 2007.

The township was surveyed by NoSAS in 2013 during a survey of sites on the Corrybrough Estate. This township has 6 buildings, a corn drying kiln and barn and 2 enclosures. The majority of the buildings are on a N-S alignment and have turf and stone footings to 0.5m height. The two largest buildings measure 24m x 3.5m internally and have two compartments; both have small outshots 2m x 2m internally in their east walls, a feature which seems to be quite common in buildings of this area. The other buildings are between 10 and 14m in length and 2 and 3m in width. <1>

See MHG43331 for the corn drying kiln.
