Situated on the floodplain of the meandering N-S Corrock River, which is c. 50m to the W at the closest point, and on land that was once part of the demesne of Coolcliffe House. A magnetic gradiometer survey (20R0129) over an extensive area identified numerous linear features in a fairly small area (dims c. 180m N-S; c. 60-90m E-W) with features extending outside the surveyed area to the W. At least three small rectangular enclosures (max. dims c. 17m x c. 7m) could represent houses or farm buildings and there are associated small plots (dims c. 20m x c. 10-30m).
