Situated on a ridge in improved moorland some 750m E of Castle Pirnie cottage there are the remains of an unusual building. It is round-ended and subrectangular on plan and measures 18.5m in overall length; internally it is consistently 3.5m in width, but externally it varies from 8.6m at the SE end to 6.4m at the NW end. There is an entrance midway along the SW wall (at which point the wall is up to 3.3m thick) and possibly another at the NW end of the SW wall, the latter opening on to a small enclosure; another enclosure adjoins the SE end of the building. A similar building lies 40m to the S (NO 06 SE 129) both of them within a scatter of small cairns (NO 06 SE 102).
