A poorly preserved rectangular building measuring 14m x 4.5m was recorded during a pre-afforestation survey by Wordsworth Archaeological Services in November 2000 (site 5). The walls stand up to 0.5m high, but are badly obscured by bracken. The building is aligned N - S and there may be an entrance in the E wall, towards the N end. It was suggested that small fragments of drystone walling below the SW corner of the dun, NG71SW 2, are probably connected to this building rather than the dun.
Aerial photography shows a building matching this description c50m W of the given grid reference at NG 70075 10691 and two smaller buildings on a similar alignment lying c50m NW (NG70125 10735) and c50m WNW (NG70137 10703), respectively.
