What are probably the remains of a kiln barn are situated in rough ground immediately SE of Daisy Cottage. Subrectangular on plan, the building measures about 8.5m from N to S by 5.5m transversely over walls reduced to grass-grown banks up to 0.4m in height. The central part of the building, which was heavily overgrown on the date of visit, has been used as rubbish dump. An 'old corn kiln', and a roofed building 20m to its NE, are depicted at or about this location on the 1st edition of the OS 25-inch map (Buteshire 1869, Sheet CCIV.13).

The remains of a building, surviving as an outline of turf 10m N-S by 7m E-W, lies to the S of Daisy Cottage, the southernmost house on the E side of St Ninian’s Bay. The walls are 1.5m wide except at the S end where there is a platform 4m wide across the width of the building. This corresponds to the feature shown on the 1st edition OS map as an ‘old corn kiln’, and the the recent RCAHMS description suggests that it is a kiln barn. This site is noted in the Buteshire Natural History Society’s deserted settlement survey (Proudfoot and Hannah 2000); their report notes that an occupied house is shown behind the present Daisy Cottage on the 1st edition OS map and that traces of a garden can still be seen (confirmed at the time of our survey).
