Description
This is a ruined bastle house located on the south side of the road, dating from the late 16th century or early 17th century. It is constructed of random rubble and is currently roofless. All walls remain standing at full height, although the south wall has been rebuilt in the 19th century. The building measures approximately 40 feet by 25 feet.
The ground-floor doorway on the gable end is blocked and features a roll-moulded surround with a relieving arch above, along with a hole for a har post and drawbar tunnels. The interior walls are about 5 feet thick, while the south wall is considerably thinner. The ground-floor doorway is covered by an early 19th-century fireplace.
