This was once a separate community and parish, with its own church and graveyard. About 1700 part of the roof of the ancient church collapsed. The hamlet was in some decline and the Presbytery decided not to repair the church but to unite the parish with adjoining Garvald, notwithstanding the fact that Morham church was slightly closer.

The hamlet has today all but disappeared, although a couple of large farms exist. The church ruins are extant and just a few of the original headstones in the totally overgrown graveyard. Some older headstones were transcribed in the 1950s.
