Site 1 (NGR NT 04961 54583)
A rectangular structure measuring 2 m x 1.75 m wide, of somewhat irregular drystone construction. It is in a ruinous state with walls standing up to a metre high. As it is immediately adjacent to an existing field boundary, it may be of relatively modern date. Its small size suggests identification as a game store or other store-building related to the shooting estate.

Field Visit (January 2004)
The HER records a building at this location. Field survey (CFA 2004) identified the remains of a small, square drystone walled structure measuring 1.5m by 1.5m built into a drystone boundary wall. The
structure may be an old grouse butt.
