The remains of this moated site are situated in a cultivated field 430m S of the farmhouse at Kinbattoch (NJ41SW 175); most of it is regularly ploughed, but the N corner is overlain by the garden of a cottage and a small stand of trees. Subrectangular on plan, the interior measures about 21m from NE to SW by 14m transversely within two banks with a medial ditch. They are best preserved on the NE and E, the inner bank measuring up to 6m in thickness and 0.5m in height, the ditch about 15m in breadth, and the outer bank 10m in thickness, though their profiles have been eroded by the plough. On the NW the outer bank is overlain by the track leading to Kinbattoch farmsteading, and the ditch at the N and W corners has been partly filled in.
