The National Monuments Service's description
In gently undulating terrain, the River Suir flows NE-SW c. 150m to the N. According to the Civil Survey (1654-6) 'There is on the sd lands an old castle a thatcht house with a Bawne about it' (Simington 1931, vol. 1, 241). The 1640 the townland was known as 'Ballytarsny-Mckeorish' and the proprietor was 'Edward Boyton of Cashell Alderman. Irish Papist' (ibid.). This bawn is associated with a tower house (TS060-0116001-) which is incorporated into an 18th-century house which has an associated distillery complex. The present high stone wall appears to be contemporary with the house and distillery complex.
