The National Monuments Service's description
Associated with the tower house (GA113-165----). A series of grassed-over walls (av. H 0.8-0.9m; Wth 2-2.5m) extending from, but not bonded to, the N wall of the tower may be the last vestiges of a bawn (c. 55m N-S; c. 40m E-W). Traces of an internal dividing wall, running E-W, are visible.
