The massive walls of the ash house support a roof of corbelled stone above, to which rabbits have climbed and burrowed. The windows on the north-west have been blocked with loose stones and a door affixed in the doorway at the south east, a wooden one in place of the original metal one. The building is used as a byre. The walls are in a state of neglect and several slates have fallen out. At its present rate of deterioration, it will soon fall into ruin.
