The old house of Dod, though called a castellated fortalice or keep, was a paltry place. It stood immediately E of the present home offices, and was only recently pulled down.
A J Warden 1880-5.
The farmer at Mid Dod stated that the building at NO 4921 4992, now used as a bothy, was formerly the old farmhouse and may be on the site of "The old house of Dod". It is a low, single-storeyed building and shows no trace of antiquity. On its NE corner are the figures 36, presumably indicating 1836.

The small 'fortalice or keep' which was demolished in the early 19th century may have been that extant in 1650.
