Building and section of turf dyke. Rough rubble footings of a building, aligned NE-SW and measuring 7m. by 2.5m. in total, but probably a main building with a byre attached to its NE gable. The walls stand no more than 0.5m. high. South of this, a rubble dyke follows the north bank of the stream, and a turf dyke runs WNW from this, just SW of the building. <1>
