Site of a castle, a large L-plan tower house, of early 17th century date. It originally comprised a rectangular main building of which the western end and a tower projecting from the east end of the S front survived in 1941. The surviving jamb was rubble-built, the ground and first floor vaulted with moulded angle turrets and corbelled re-entrant turret. The castle was built after 1618 although supposed to have been unfinished. Alterations and removal of the turrets are said to have bee carried out 1788. The castle was largely demolished in 1968, and the last surviving remains removed in the 1980s. A cairn now marks the spot where the castle stood.
