A desk-based assessment and walkover survey was conducted during December 2002 by CFA Archaeology Ltd in advance of proposals to renew the Mulbuie water supply within and around Muir of Ord.
An unroofed building is depicted on the 1st edition 6-inch OS map (1881), but is not shown on the current edition of the OS 1:10000. The building is poorly defined and survives as grassed-over banks with considerable slumping. The building measures c.4m x 12m x 0.80m high and is aligned approximately NE-SW. It has been robbed on its north-eastern side. <1>
