A circular cattle-pound of about 9 m diameter consisting of a roughly coursed limestone rubble wall, with no coping. The height of the wall is about 1.8 m. The date of construction is unknown, but it is similar to Castlemartin Pound, dated 1780. In 1840 the site was in the Philipps estate. It was disused by 1900.
In 1900 the bier-house was built, most of which stands within the pound. Limestone rubble masonry at the rear, snecked facing masonry at the front. The bier-house is a cart shed with its gable and double-doors facing the street. It is 2.4 m wide by 4 m long internally. Slate roof. Carved bargeboards with timber finials. Framed, braced, ledged and battened doors. The door-frame head is in segmental form. Brick segmental arch to the rear doorway.
The cattle-pound interior behind the bier-house is maintained as a public garden. The bier house is used as an information point for local tourism.
In the street in front of the Bier House is a cast-iron water hydrant, manufactured by Glenfield and Kennedy of Kilmarnock.
