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. At the NE end of the field this house appears as a sunken rectangular area (dims. 7m N-S x 10m E-W; D 0.2m) defined by a scarp. Medieval road (TS054-037009-) immediately to E and two houses (TS054-037004-; TS054-037005-) to S.
