It comprised the remains of a sub-rectangular building which measured 6m x 4m with a possible byre attached to the north-facing wall. It was of drystone construction and only a single course of sub-rounded and sub-angular boulders remained. It had an average width of 0.6m and a surviving height of 0.3m. <1>
