The National Monuments Service's description
Abutting the N wall of the stairs-tower of a tower house (KD019-003----) and running N, the grassed-over wall-lines (Wth 0.6m) of the NW angle of a levelled building are visible (dims. L c. 8m N-S; Wth c. 6m E-W). It may possibly be the remains of a 17th century fortified house into which the older tower house was incorporated. In the tower house, at first-floor level, the inner wall face has been refaced with red-brick in several places suggesting a long period of use.
