The National Monuments Service's description
Situated towards the bottom of an E-facing slope, with the S-N Ballymoat stream c. 200m to the E. Loughdeheen was originally owned by the Knights Hospitallers of Kilbarry (WA017-003001-), but after the Suppression it passed to the Wyse family who probably built the gatehouse (WA017-018001-) and bawn.
The subrectangular bawn (int. dims. 40-58m NE-SW; 50m NW-SE) is defined by a mortared stone wall (int. H 1m; ext. H 1.8-2.4m; T 1m) on the NE, SE and the S part of the SW sides. A stone-faced earthen bank (Wth 5m; H 1.2-1.7m) completes the N part of the SW side. The bawn is now divided into three fields and covers c. 0.3ha.
