(Classification amended to Buildings; Cottage)
The ruins of this cottage are situated on a steep SSE-facing slope 23m S of the well-made track that runs between Auchernoch (NJ31NW 3) and Aldachuie (NJ31NW 23). It measures 13m from ESE to WNW by 5m transversely overall. The moss-grown stone walls are 0.6m in thickness and up to 1m in height at the WNW gable. There is a central entrance on the SSE.
The cottage is depicted as roofed on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map (Aberdeenshire, 1869, sheet lx) and unroofed on the 2nd edition of the map (1903, sheet lx).
