The National Monuments Service's description
In rolling grassland on the upper slopes of Dinin valley with good views in all directions. A rectangular two-storey tower (4.3m N–S x 4.6m E–W; wall T 0.6m), rendered both inside and out, of well-coursed flat limestone slabs, well mortared. There is a ground-floor door at E and there are dummy windows on the exterior at second-floor level. This is an 18/19th-century folly modelled on a tower house.
