Situated on a low, heather-covered terrace some 730m NW of Lair cottage and overlooking poorly-drained ground to the S, there are the remains of a building. It measures 17m NNW-SSE by 7m in width at the NNW end and 5.5m in width at the SSE end over walls reduced to a low bank some 1.6m in thickness and 0.1m in height. The ends of the building are rounded and the SSE half of the interior is sunken; the entrance is situated on WSW side close to the SSE end.
