The National Monuments Service's description
Most of the N wall and part of the W wall of this bawn, associated with the tower house (GA114-144----), survive to a height of c. 2m. Some of the outer wall-face of the N wall has been robbed out. A restored angle tower (int. diam. c. 5m), with a considerable base-batter, at NE appears to be a later feature as it is not bonded into the slight remains of the E bawn wall but rather abuts it.
