The National Monuments Service's description

Situated on a low natural rise of ground in an upland area with extensive views. Described in the Civil Survey 1654-6 (Simington 1934, vol. 2, 287) as an 'old ruined castle wanting repair'. Cormuck mcEgan is listed as proprietor in 1640 (ibid.). The poorly preserved remains of a long, rectangular two-storey building (TN010-046)with crenellated wall-walk constructed with roughly coursed limestone rubble with base-batter. The N wall and the N end of the W wall are destroyed, with wall-footings of a possible destroyed bawn wall protruding from the base of the SW angle of the building. There may have been a wooden fore-building attached to the SE angle as this might explain the fine rendering of the wall visible only on the external face at this point.
