Situated towards the bottom of the strip-fields that extend across the SW face of a ridge some 450m NE of Castle Pirnie cottage, there are the remains of a four-compartment, round-ended building with an enclosure on its SSW side. The building measures 18.5m WNW-ESE by 4.4m over turf-covered stone wall-footings up to 1.1m in thickness and 1.1m in height (in eight courses). A large earthfast boulder has been incorporated into the line of the wall on the NNE side and the entrances are probably in the SSW side.
