The National Monuments Service's description

At the S end of the W wall of a walled area surrounding Carrigaholt tower house (CL065-100001-). Two limestone pillars (H just over 4m; 1.85m x 1.15m; 3.05m apart) covered over with a course of red brick (T 0.13m). On the more northerly pillar some of this brick has been broken away exposing the original roughly dressed neat regular limestone. A later estate wall has broken into the W side of the more southerly pillar. There are some iron hinge loops set into each of the pillars on the inside. A circular 18-19th century turret is located at the NE corner of the walled area on the line of the original bawn wall.
