The National Monuments Service's description

Situated on a gentle E-facing slope. The remains of an early 17th-century house probably built for Henry Walsh. The main block (L 14.3m; Wth 7.6m) is gabled and had two storeys with attic. The entrance is at the E with a stair turret directly opposite projecting from the W wall. The wrought jambstones of the door were removed in 1943-4; a shallow armorial recess occurs overhead. Attached at the NE side is a kitchen block (int. dims. 6.9m x 4.9m) of similar construction and height. Substantial chimney stacks survive intact on the N and W walls of the main block. There is no cut stone visible. (Leask, OPW files 1944; Price 1957, 322)

A series of test trenches opened in 2006 (Excavation Licence 06E0113) to the WNW in advance of the construction of a dwelling did not reveal anything of archaeological significance.

The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Wicklow' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
