The footings of two rectangular, stone-built and compartmented buildings are in an afforested area SE of Dean Castle. One was partly excavated by J Hunter from 1979-1981, and its late (probably 17th/18th century) date and domestic function were confirmed. Finds included green glazed pottery and pipe stems.
Information from J Hunter, Dick Institute Museum, Kilmarnock.
