A small octagonal brick pillbox on the E side of the B9047 road just S of where it crosses the Burn of Ore. The pillbox is entered on the SW side by steps down into the base. The pillbox is almost complete, however, the entrance has been blocked by rubble.
The adjacent bridge has been strengthened and widened to double its width, the old stone bridge lying alongside the newer concrete construction.
