This sub-rectangular building (Braan93 463), probably of Pitcarmick-type, which is situated on the side of a rounded ridge to the NW of the Crieff to Dalnacardoch military road (NN93NW 14), measures 11.9m from NNE to SSW by 3.6m transversely, splaying slightly to the SSW, within a grass-grown stony bank spread to 1.4m in thickness and 0.3m in height. The entrance is in the centre of the ESE side and the ends are rounded. The SSW end of the building overlies part of a building or enclosure, and there are two further enclosures at the NNE end, the relationship of which to the building is not clear.

Around the building there is a scatter of at least fourteen cairns (Braan93 445) which measure up to 4m in diameter and 0.3m in height. To the SSW and W of the building, grass-grown stony banks and clearance edges define sub-rectangular plots which predate the Improvement Period fields.

(Braan93 445, 463)
