The house was located north-west of Fallin, c 100m from the rivers edge. The house has been demolished although it is possible to see an outline of a rectangular structure in the grass. The area is strewn with fragments of stone and brickwork. The field in which the building is located produced a number of pieces of possibly worked flint.
