Details Remains of a building with attached circular structure, depicted unroofed on the OS 1st and 2nd edition maps. Site visit in 2022 as part of the SCAPE Coastal Zone Assessment Survey recorded a circa 5 m diameter circular bowl-like structure situated at the east end of the foundations of a rectangular building. Surviving up to 2 m high, built of roughly hewn granite blocks, random rough coursed, with filling chips around blocks and some surviving mortar. There is a possible flue on the west side. Suggested to be a possible corn-drying kiln. The other walls appear to have been reused to make a track/ entrance way to the tower house.
