The National Monuments Service's description
The 1922 edition of the OS 6-inch map suggests that the tower house (GA113-110007-) stood in the NW corner of a small square bawn (c. 25m NNW-SSE; c. 21m WNW-ESE). Walls are depicted extending southwards from the SW corner of the tower and eastwards from the NE corner. However, no visible surface traces are visible. A NNE-SSW roadway now runs immediately to the S of the tower house.
