The National Monuments Service's description

On a high prominence surrounded by undulating, hazel-covered land. This bawn is not clearly defined. The SE wall of a medieval house (CL010-040005-) appears to be incorporated in the bawn wall, which most likely also enclosed the tower house (CL010-040002-) just to the NW. Rubble throughout this area probably covers much of the rest of the bawn.
