The land is classified as 4(1) and 5(1), with an area of 5(3) on the hill, according to the James Hutton Institute Land Capability for Agriculture Map.

The breakdown of the land is as follows:
Silage 25.9 acres

wire fences. The extent of the property is shown on the adjacent plan with boundaries marked in red.
