At a small distance from the ruins of Corshill House are some small remains of a more ancient building (NS44NW 6) belonging to the same family.

(Approximately NS 419 464) 'Corshil' is noted by Pont as "a fair well planted dwelling the possession of Alexander Cunningham." The ruins of Corsehill, which stood a short distance E of and on the opposite side of the burn to Reuincraig (NS44NW 6), were removed about the beginning of the 19th century and only the foundations could be traced in 1876. An avenue leads from Corsehill mansion to Stewarton, and the street in which it terminated is now called Avenue Street.
The ruins of "Reuincraig" are frequently misidentified as Corsehill (see NS44NW 6).
J Dobie 1876
No further information was obtained during field investigation. The area E of Reuincraig is mainly under crop.
