One mile to the south is the village of Eassie and Eassie Old Church, noted for the presence of the Eassie Stone; this carved Pictish stone is dated prior to the Early Middle Ages.

The rectangular earthwork is 12-to-14-foot (3.7 to 4.3 m) deep in the north-east, with a three-foot internal rampart, elsewhere it is shallower. There are no visible remains of the buildings of the medieval castle, which were perhaps largely of wood.
