The hamlet consists of two farms and ten permanent dwellings, together with a number of holiday cottages. There is also a Methodist chapel, built in 1897.

The name, first recorded in 1283 as Mouressate, is from the Old Norse Maures sætr, meaning 'the shieling of a man named Maurr' (a nickname meaning 'ant').
