The ruins of a small cottage, now planted with trees, are situated on the W side of a forestry track on the Candacraig Estate. It is of lime-mortared build, with walls 0.7m thick and up to 1.8m high at the NW corner; a small garden enclosure is visible immediately to the S. The building is one of two that are depicted as roofed on 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map (Aberdeenshire, 1869, sheet lx); it was unroofed by the end of the 19th century (OS 6-inch map, Aberdeenshire, 2nd edition, 1903, sheet lx), but its neighbour to the N, whilst still roofed in 1903, has since been reduced to little more than a pile of rubble.
