The remains of this rectangular tower-house, situated on a promontory at the confluence of the Dow Sike with the Stanygill Burn, have been incorporated within a more recent sheep stell. The surviving portion of the tower wall measures 6.6m from N to S by 5m transversely, is 1.3m thick and stands to a maximum height of 1.5m. What may be the S end wall is marked by a low bank, but there is no trace of the E wall. A splayed window is visible in the N wall. To the SW of the tower there is a curving section of bank, 2.5m in thickness; its function is unknown.
