The historic map is an Ordnance Survey map from 1919 to 1947, and is provided by the National Library of Scotland

The Ordnance Survey Name Book of 1867 writes of an old castle which once stood here, and mentions that the foundations of an old building and some earthworks were removed a few years before 1867.

The site has now been ploughed beyond recognition, and nothing remains other than a shallow hollow on the north side of the site, which is evidence of a wide ditch.
