Situated on a low hillock on poorly drained land in upland area. The poorly preserved foundations of a small square-shaped building (int. dims. 5.2m NE-SW x 5.6m NW-SE; wall T 1m) the SE wall of which is totally destroyed, with the remaining walls surviving to a maximum height of 0.7m. A possible enclosing bank is visible to the N of house only, where it survives as a scarp. The walls are built with roughly coursed rubble with a rounded corner at N and a possible square corner at W. These are the possible foundations of a stronghouse with associated enclosure.
