The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a level landscape. The tower house (ME017-019----) is at the SE angle of a rectangular enclosure (dims c. 30m ENE-WSW; c. 20m NNW-SSE) defined by masonry walls that could have constituted a bawn. This is more likely to be associated with the house (ME017-019001-) which occupies much of its S edge than with the tower house.
