A square-plan timber boarded sentry box (approximately 2 metres by 0.75 metres by 0.75 metres) with a cross-gabled zinc-clad roof and central ventilator. It is of the design produced in 1956-67, and has later refurbishments. There is vertical black painted boarding to the side and rear elevations, and a rectangular panel is inscribed 'BOX 714' at the sides. There is a flush plywood panel door with a moulded yellow winged interlaced 'AA' livery, and a weathering fillet above. The original livery design was replaced with the square logo used after 1967, which was in turn replaced in the 1990s with the new winged livery, designed to be the same as the original one. There are yellow painted strips to each angle. There are plain bargeboarded gablets, that have similar an AA 1990s branded livery, which is flanked by backlit square name panels that read 'THREAPLAND' to left, and 'BOX' to the right, on the front and side faces. The AA box was temporarily removed to Transport Scotland's maintenance yard during the A96 Threapland Junction improvement scheme, and the box positioned in a new layby. Inside, there is chipboard flooring and a timber cupboard to the rear. The box is one of seven AA sentry boxes remaining in Scotland, and 21 in all of Britain.
