This building was almost completely demolished, only the corner of the east gable and the north wall surviving. Nevertheless, the all-important evidence of a central drain was left to show that this end of the building at least was a byre. Glenochar Burn has undercut the building and this may have been the reason for abandoning it. Most wall stones were removed for building elsewhere.
At the east side of the building, abutments for a footbridge over the burn can be seen in the form of stones set into the bank. A hollow way can be seen on the other side of the burn leading up towards the enclosure which looks down on the fermtoun from Doddin Hill. Hollow ways were created mainly by cattle being driven around the site – such hoofed traffic possibly causing sunken paths to be created in a relatively short time. Another hollow way connects buildings 11 and 15 and shows where the burn was forded.
The walls of the enclosure on Doddin Hill have been built with a substantial stone foundation with turf on top. Extant, the bank reached a height of 1.5m and spreads out to 3m. Originally this must have been an imposing boundary and since there is no indication of cultivation within the area, it may be that this was a place to hold cattle, possibly overnight during summer months. The feature is shown on an estate map of 1760.
