The National Monuments Service's description
Darver castle (LH011-096----) occupies the NW side of a bawn (LH011-096001-), of which nothing else remains except the gatehouse. This is an ivy-covered structure with a barrel-vault over the entrance avenue to the castle, which would have been on the NE wall of the bawn.
