The National Monuments Service's description
To the E of a tower house (LF023-009001-). Wall-footings (T 1.1m; H 0.2m; L 2m) extending to the E from the NE angle of the tower house may be the remains of a later two-storey house that was built against the external face of its E wall. Horizontal scar lines on the wall face may indicate the first and second-floor levels. However, is also possible that the wall-footings are the remains of a bawn wall. (ITA Survey 1944; English 1971, 154)
