The remains of three buildings (two within an enclosure), a series of artificial terraces and a length of revetted stream bank are visible some 730m SE of Dalmunzie Hotel. The site lies to either side of a low tributary of the Shee Water and is situated within permanent pasture.
On the opposite side of the stream there are a number of artificial terraces which have been fed by water channels from upslope; they are almost certainly flax-retting ponds. This is probably the site of the mill indicated by Stobie (1783).
1. NO 0944 7058 The remains of this building measure 7m ESE-WNW by 5.3m over rubble wall-footings up to 1.4m in thickness and 0.5m in height. There is an entrance midway along the S side and at the E end there is an outshot (4.7m ESE-WNW by 4m overall). The outshot has a deep batter on its E wall and an entrance in its SE corner.
2. NO 0952 7064 To the N there are the remains of a building measuring about 14.8m WNW-ESE by 4.8m over turf-covered wall-footings up to 1.1m in thickness and 0.3m in height. Immediately SW there is a second building (10.2m WSW-ENE by 5.1m over wall-footings 1m thick and 0.3m high). Both lie within an enclosure at the foot of the slope on the W side of the stream.
