The site comprises settlement remains, associated field systems, and cairns that reflect the agricultural use and habitation patterns of the early modern period. These landscape features represent the practical organisation of pastoral and arable land during the post-medieval era, when such dispersed settlements were characteristic of rural Perthshire.
