The National Monuments Service's description

Situated towards the top of the E-facing slope of the Owenduff river valley, with the stream c. 250m to the E. A bawn wall (L 16m), which is not bonded to the tower house (WX040-046001-), runs SE from its E angle and terminates in the remains of a circular tower, while a possible bawn wall (L 20m) might run SW from this tower surviving in a NE-SW road bank. Archaeological monitoring (20E0090) by Y. Whitty of a NE-SW water pipe under the road just to the SE produced no related material (excavations.ie 20:359).
