The remains of a rectangular building and a small enclosure stand in rough pasture on a hillside about 260m WNW of Alvie Home Farm. The building, which has been constructed of quarried rubble, measures 11.8m from NNE to SSW by 5m transversely over denuded walls standing no more than 0.4m in height, best-preserved on the WNW side, where the building has been set into the slope. The enclosure lies to the ESE, and has a lambing pen built over its NNE wall. The 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map (Inverness-shire 1874, sheet lxxiii) shows a roofed building at this location, but it does not appear on the 2nd edition of the map (1903), by which time the ground had been planted with conifers.
