Situated on well drained gently sloping east facing ground in the corner of a small field attached to the modern cottage of Minn; the shore of Banna Minn is c.50m away and small streams to the north of the house run into it. The house has been both destroyed and rebuilt, having been reused in recent times, but much of its original form remains. It has a main part and an annexe. The main part is oval in shape (c.8 by 7m) with inner and outer wall faces exposed on the north side where the wall has an apparent width of c 1m and a preserved height of c.0.5m. The interior has been levelled and the eastern side rebuilt. There are the remains of a small building (c.5 by 4m) to the east but this probably incorporates the remains of an annexe which would have given the original building an overall length of c 13m and an east-west orientation.
