Nothing is now visible of this poorhouse which stood in what is now an overgrown, vacant plot of ground on the S side of Kennethmont village (NJ52NW 44). It is depicted as roofed on both the 1st and 2nd editions of the OS 6-inch map (Aberdeenshire, 1870, sheet xliii and 1902, sheet xliii.NW respectively).
