The National Monuments Service's description
Discovered during the excavation of test trenches prior to development (Excavation Licence 00E0301). Two walls were exposed. One was interpreted as remains of the 17th/18th century curtain-wall of Clones Castle, which is unlikely, while the other is thought to be remains of a 17th/18th century tower wall. (Moore 2002)
