There is a stone arch, situated within open ground in a new housing estate to the S of the site of both the Craigends mansions. As this feature does not appear on either the 1st or 2nd edition of the OS 6-inch map (Renfrewshire 1857 and 1897, sheet vii) nor does it sit within the layout of the gardens, it has probably been rebuilt at this location as there is new mortar in the joints.
