NX 6765 7045 Architectural fragments used as rubble infill were found during the renovation of the N pavilion of the later
18th-century house of Airds of Kells. They consisted of a pointed arch window and two fragments with cable moulding and dogtooth decoration. A later medieval date has been suggested by Historic Scotland staff. There is no other evidence for an earlier house on the same site, but as the estate was associated with the Gordon family from the later 15th century, there is the possibility that there may have been an earlier building in the vicinity.
