The Old Smithy beside the A939 and farther back, West Corriehoul farmstead. According to Celtic Place-names in Aberdeenshire by John Milne, 'corriehoul' means 'corry of the howe', which in turn means 'cirque of the tumulus' (or cairn) and the 1900 25-inch OS map shows a cairn a few hundred metres to the north-east.
