The remains of this 16th century house, still in a very poor condition, are generally as described by the RCAHMS. The remains of a wall running WSW from the SW angle of the main block can be seen in two portions of walling still standing to a height of about 3m. The piece of wall nearer the main block contains a rectangular gateway or doorway with moulded jambs; the second piece is located 38m SSE of the SE angle. Also, traces of walling can be seen along the cliff edge between the latter piece of walling and the SE angle of the main block. From this last portion of isolated wall a low stony bank curves W for a distance of some 30m to merge with a modern stone wall. This bank is 2.2m wide and there is evidence of a shallow ditch, 2.5m wide, on its N side. The bank is 0.7m high above the ditch bottom but only 0.1m above the outside ground level.
