The remains of High Eals I (NY 76208592) are incorporated in an outbuilding a short distance to the west of the farmhouse; the building measures about 7.7 metres east–west by 6.7 metres north–south. Its 1.05 metres thick west wall seems to survive from the bastle but preserves no original features other than perhaps a pair of irregular projecting blocks that may have been the corbels that carried a cantilevered end stack.The north wall is 0.80 metre thick and may possibly be of the same period, although its only feature, a rebated doorway, is of 18th- or early 19th- century character. The thinner south wall and east end are presumably a rebuild of the later 18th or 19th century. Reused as angle quoins at the north-east corner are the two halves of a window sill or lintel, with sockets for three vertical bars, and smaller ones inside the line of these for harr-hung shutters.
