The Glenfender Burn debouches into the valley of the River Braan between a series of broad terraces on both sides of the burn, which run into the gently-shelving shoulders of the hills on the N and S of the burn. The terraces beside the burn and the side of the ridges at the mouth of the Glen are covered with a palimpsest of archaeological features. These lie within a drystone enclosure wall which takes in the lower reaches of the glen and runs over the catchment into Glen Cochill on the NE. The W of this area is largely unimproved heather, littered with prehistoric, medieval or later buildings and cultivation remains. The upper edge of the Improvement Period fields run roughly SW to NE across the mouth of the glen, and the area within these fields is largely improved grassland.

The building measures 6.3m from NE to SW by 2.9m transversely within a stony bank 1m in thickness and 0.3m in height. There is an entrance in the SE side.
