A mound of small stones, irregular in shape and covered in grass, was recorded in 1972 sitting in undulating grassland near the River Gaine. Some of those stones carried traces of mortar, which is the detail that makes the site quietly interesting: loose field stones would not have mortar adhering to them, and so the mound was thought to represent the collapsed and scattered remains of a former building, its identity and age otherwise unknown.

By the time a Digital Globe aerial photograph was taken in November 2011, even that modest hump in the ground had gone. The site lies on reclaimed grassland, roughly 200 metres south-west of the River Gaine and about 100 metres south of a separate levelled mound nearby. Whatever structure once stood here, its stonework had already been reduced to a cairn-like scatter before the 1972 description was written, and within another four decades that scatter too had been absorbed into the surrounding farmland. The mortar fragments remain the only clue that this was something built rather than simply accumulated, though without further investigation the nature, age, and purpose of the building cannot be determined.
