In rough pasture strewn with glacial erratics, on a SE-facing slope overlooking the valley of the Glanrastel River. Ruins of a rectangular gable-ended structure (6.75m NE-SW; 2.7m NW-SE) built of random rubble. The NW wall is formed by the vertical face of a large glacial erratic (H 3.7m). The built walls are 0.7m thick and survive to a maximum height of 3.5m at the NE gable. A lintelled door ope is close to the centre of the SW wall; a blocked window ope is at the centre of the SE wall.
