A small very rudimentary structure, 4.10m NE-SW by 4m and almost square plan, has been built into a low slope on the NW bank of the North Garvan River. Only the SW and SE walls remain, completely overgrown with bracken. The structure was recorded as an abandoned building in 1872. It is recommended that this structure be preserved. <1>
This structure was marked with a row of canes and coloured flags in advance of the works. <2>
