The National Monuments Service's description
On a slight ENE-facing slope. The fortified house (RO045-107001-) and bawn (RO045-107002-) is surrounded by to W and N by an L-shaped walled garden, existing mostly on the W side (dims 160m NE-SW; c. 70m NE-SW) of a N-S public road but extending across to the E side (dims c. 75m NW-SE; c. 75m NE-SW) at N. It is defined by clay-bonded walls at NW and SW which narrow with height (Wth of base 0.6m; Wth of top 0.4m; H 2.3m). The garden walls have two robbed pointed entrances (Wth 2.3m; H 1.8m) towards the S end of the SW wall, and a single similar entrance in the NW wall.
