Information from RCAHMS (SAH) 14 February 1996
This building was visited in the course of a walkover survey in May 2009. It was observed to be a substantial rectangular stone-walled building on a knoll just above the township head dyke. It is too large to be a shieling and was probably originally one of the township buildings. <1>
