Surface supply of water. The foundations of a small square building (dims. 3m x 3m) within the W angle of the bawn (KK015-014001-). It is defined by an earthen bank (Wth c. 0.7m; H 0.5m). There are the foundations of a number of outer buildings (KK015-014003-) in the S quadrant, including a larger building which may be the remains of Castle Warren (KK015-014002-) which is indicated on the 6-inch OS maps.
