Base of 1 wall remains roughly E-W, and 2 upright slabs, possibly grave stones remain very close to edge of wall. Wall is 20m x 0.7m x 1 course high. Slight mound and lots of stones lying about. Uncertain what remains relate to, walls seem too thin for a castle. Grass covered and under threat from erosion.
Upright slabs very close to quarry edge one less than 1/2 meter.

Description
Base of 1 wall remains roughly E-W, and 2 upright slabs, possibly grave stones remain very close to edge of wall. Wall is 20m x 0.7m x 1 course high. Slight mound and lots of stones lying about. Uncertain what remains relate to, walls seem too thin for a castle. Grass covered and under threat from erosion.
Upright slabs very close to quarry edge one less than 1/2 meter.
Further research and possible survey but site degraded from 2 sides quarry edge on the south side and 19th century steading now derelict to the north.
not eroding remove from priorities
