Remains of a castle, the ruin of a 16th century Z-plan castle with a round tower at the south-west and a square tower at the north-east. A stair turret is inserted in the re-entrant angle of the north-east tower with the east side of the central block. The castle was used as a quarry for the building of the farmhouse in the 19th century. It was built by the Lindsays, who acquired the barony of Vayne or Fearn in the early part of the 15th century. In 1958 it was noted by the OS that the western part in particular was in very poor condition. The walls, circa 1.5 m thick, of the eastern part are almost entire.
