The National Monuments Service's description

Located 11m N of Carricknabraghy castle, a tower house (DG003-002001-). Lacy (1983) records that ‘A pile of rubble 11m N of the keep is probably the remains of some other structure.’ This structure may be associated with the tower house, which probably dates to the 16th century.
