The site lies in a small wooded valley to the south of a small burn running E-W. It is a well preserved building set into the ground on the S side. The building is 3.40m E- W by 2.35m internally with walls c.0.60m wide, the S wall is 1m high. There is an entrance on the S side of
the W wall 0.60m wide leading to a passage 0.75m wide. The passage wall curves to the N ending with 2 earthfast stones which may indicate an outer entrance. The NW corner of the building is tumbled and may have been another entrance or drain through the wall as there is a channel to the burn immediately to the N.
