The National Monuments Service's description
Finglaswood House, formerly the home of the Seagrave family, incorporated a tower house. This was a square tower defended by gun loops with fine hammer-dressing on the entrance doorway (Anon 1897, 446-7; Joyce 1912, 273-4; Ball 1920, 89-91). The building was demolished before the early 1970s. No visible at ground level.
