The monument, a farmstead of post-medieval date, is visible as an upstanding monument, comprising the foundations of a single building of three compartments with two attached enclosures, situated on a slight elevation.
The monument is identified as 'Todholes' and depicted as a ruin on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map (Linlithgowshire 1856, sheet viii) and on the 1818 Linlithgowshire map produced by W Forrest.
The area to be scheduled is irregular in shape, with maximum dimensions 70m N-S by 50m 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.
