The National Monuments Service's description
Immediately N of the tower house (TS054-037002-), house (TS054-037003-) and bawn (TS054-037001-) there is a rectangular field of rock outcrop which is shown on the first ed. OS 6-inch map as a 'Fair Green'. In this field are the grass-covered wall-footings of at least four possible houses (TS054-037004-; TS054-037005-; TS054-037018- and TS054-037019-) with central road (TS054-037009-) and to the E of the latter there are two large sub-circular enclosures (TS054-037007-; TS054-037008-) which may represent settlement plots. The latter enclosure (int. dims. 39m N-S x 20m E-W) is located 15m to the S of an enclosure (TS054-037007-) and is defined by a poorly preserved earth and stone bank (base Wth 2.4m; top Wth 1.2m; int. H 0.65m; ext. H 0.4m). Possible rectangular house (TS054-037018-) located in S quadrant of enclosure.
