A small group of buildings are situated above and below the head-dyke on either side of a stream 500m SSW of Dalmunzie Hotel.
1. NO 0920 7066 This building is situated immediately S of the head-dyke and measures 6.7m NNE-SSW by 4.3m over walls 0.9m in thickness and 0.3m in height. On the W there is a small enclosure measuring 9.4m ESE-WNW by 5.8m within a turf-covered bank.
2. NO 0911 7074 This building is situated immediately S of the head-dyke and measures 7.7m NE-SW by 4.2m over walls 0.7m in thickness and 0.3m in height.
3. NO 0919 7070 This building, which lies on the E bank of a stream, measures 5.9m NE-SW by 3.7m over walls up to 0.9m in thickness and 0.2m in height. The position of the entrance is unclear but there is a slight gap in the SW corner. At the N end there are the footings of either a small pen or an outshot whose N wall has been eroded by the stream.
4. NO 0921 7070 This building measures 9.2m E-W by 4.4m over wall-footings up to 1.1m in thickness and 0.4m in height; a probable entrance is situated in the S side.
5. NO 0922 7070 This building measures 7.1m NNW-SSE by 3.9m over rubble wall-footings about 1.2m in thickness and 0.3m in height; no entrance is visible.
6. NO 0922 7071 This building measures 4.8m NW-SE by 4.6m over turf-covered wall-footings at least 0.5m in thickness and 0.3m in height; no entrance is visible.
7. NO 0922 7072 Situated adjacent to the burn, and partly eroded by it, there are the remains of a building measuring at least 6m N-S by up to 4.6m over turf-covered wall-footings up to 1m in thickness and 0.3m in height.
8. NO 0922 7073 Adjacent to the N side of (7) there are the remains of what may be an earlier building measuring 7m NW-SE by 4.2m over turf-covered wall-footings up to 0.9m in thickness and 0.3m in height. It has two compartments but no entrance is visible.
Immediately N there are the probable remains of a kiln measuring 5.2m in overall diameter and 1.2m in maximum height; external revetting is evident on the W, N and NE sides, and its flat top is about 2.6m across. Visited by RCAHMS (JRS) 27 July 1987.
