Scope and Content Late 18th century circular ashlar stone structure with conical thatched roof. There are pointed arch openings and a pointed window that overlooks the North Esk river to the south. The roof appears fairly sound when viewed externally, however, upon entering the structure a large opening is visible in the thatch above, exposing the interior of the building to the elements. The remaining thatch is in a reasonable conditon, with some mossy vegetation growing throughout across the surface of the thatch. The timber elements of the roof, and the building in general, are currently in a stable condition, however, the roof is likely to deteriorate if it is not repaired soon. Although listed as being an ‘outbuilding’, the structure currently has no apparent use. The thatch is not netted.
