(NO 3586 2469) A building, believed to have been the Abbot's House, lay some 28 yds E of the chapter house of Balmerino Abbey. All that remains now is the inner of two contiguous vaulted cellars, measuring 18'2" by 15'7", within walls built of ashlar but repaired in rubble. The floor is partly cobbled and partly paved with old tombstones.

One barrel vault remains of this building, and from its N wall is the springing of another. It is overgrown with vegetation, and its floor is now earth-covered.
