The croft lies either side of the public road serving the Island of Grimsay and is divided into small paddocks providing some good permanent pasture and rough grazing for sheep and cattle. It stretches from the shoreline to the south of the public road up to the edge of Loch Ligary to the north. Approx 2ha has been fenced to accommodate a broadleaf woodland planting scheme, much of which has now matured and is accessible via cut paths. There are two concrete floored stone-built sheds, roofed with steel profile sheeting which provide general storage facilities for the croft, a polytunnel and hooped raised beds with vehicular access directly from the road via a gateway and area of hard standing.

The croft is subject to crofting legislation but is eligible to receive agricultural and crofting support from SGRPID.

There are also grazing rights for a small number of sheep and cattle on the Island of Grimsay Common Grazings.
