The National Monuments Service's description

On the S-sloping edge of an E-W ridge overlooking the River Suir and a small lake c. 150m to the S, in an area of undulating ground with outcrop to the N of the tower house. According to the Civil Survey (1654-6) the Countess of Ormond was the proprietor in 1640 and 'On the sd. lands stands a castle Demolished with a Bawne on one side thereof together with a thatcht house a few cabblins all Inhabitted (Simington 1934, vol. 2, 9). Incorporated into the SW angle of Ballynahinch bawn (TS060-059003-) there is an internal building (int. dims. 13.4m N-S; 18.9m E-W), the S wall of the bawn within this building has three openings which were possibly broken out to form windows and there is one large opening in the W wall. The wall forming the E gable is not keyed into the bawn wall. Only the E end of the N wall survives (T 0.8m; L 6.85m). The interior is sunken. Both the E and N wall are composed of limestone rubble, roughly coursed.
