On the S bank of the Allt Strollamus, 50m N of the old road, at a height of 20m OD are (a) a dry-stone built rectangular structure with rounded corners, measuring 10.5m NE-SW by 5m NW-SE, over walls 0.8m thick.
There are traces of a wall dividing the structure in two internally; and (b) a sub-rectangular enclosure surrounded by a turf-covered stone dyke measuring 15m by 12m which lies to the N. A small stone platform 3m in diameter lies in the NE corner of the enclosure. This is possibly a stack stand or ruined twinning pen.
