The National Monuments Service's description
At the SW foot of a low hill upon which the late 18th-century Calverstown House stands. A poorly preserved roofless, three storied, rectangular structure (c. 21.5m NNE-SSW; c. 14m ESE-WNW) built of rubble masonry (av. wall T 0.9m) has a Jacobean-style chimney projecting from each gable, with a third similar chimney internally, just N of centre. The ESE façade is badly robbed out leaving no trace of the doorway or any windows. An earlier tower house (KD032-047001-) is incorporated in the N corner of the building.
