On the hillside N of Ardentraive Farm a circular stone foundation, internally 12m diameter, stands on a natural terrace surrounded by a group of 30 recessed platforms and stances (NS07NW 16).
The circular foundation is probably of a cavity walled round house as the walls are about 2m thick and appear to be double. There is an entrance 1m wide to the S and opposing it to the N the possibility of a second one.
