The 'main' road once went past this cottage in Craigendorran but now the A814 runs to the north. It was a tollhouse, known as Drumfork, for the section of toll road between Dumbarton and Helensburgh. This cut-off section of road is now named Monaebrook Place. Windows in the gable ends would enable the tollkeeper to keep an eye out for approaching traffic or herds of animals.
