The northerly of the two houses adjacent to the White Caterthun fort, this ring-ditch house measures 11.4m from NNE to SSW by 10.7m transversely over a shallow ditch 2.7m in breadth. The entrance is again on the downslope side, marked by a gap in a low external bank. On the uphill side the inner lip of the ditch peters out, but the outer lip continues as a scarp about 0.3m high.
Visited by RCAHMS (SH) 29 September 1989.
