To the W of East Kersland is a part of what was formerly the manor house of Kersland. The walls are almost 4ft thick, and vaulted, and now form part of the offices attached to Kersland. Over the door of the house is a stone bearing the arms of the Ker family, "Daniel Ker Kersland - 1604". This stone was removed from the old building.
