The National Monuments Service's description
Situated in flat terrain in pasture. A house (TN041-072003) and farmyard are situated immediately W of the tower house (TN041-072001). A flat-headed single-light window with hood-moulding, probably from the tower house, has been inserted at the S end of the E face of the house at first-floor level, probably in the late nineteenth or early twentieth century. There are other fragments of window jambs in the grounds in front of the house. The Civil Survey (1654-6) refers to a bawn and 'James Archer of Archardstowne Esqr. Irish Papist' is listed as proprietor (Simington 1931, vol. 1, 54). Possible keying stones for the bawn wall project out from the external E face of the tower house (TN041-072001) above the roofline of the abutting building.
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Tipperary. Vol. 1 - North Tipperary' compiled by Jean Farrelly and Caimin O'Brien (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2002). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
