The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on gentle W-facing slope. A gable that survived at Harperstown House into the 19th century was thought to have been from a chapel associated with Harperstown Castle (WX041-024001-) (Jeffrey 1979, 76-7), but it does not survive in the remains of what is probably an 18th century house, and its location and classification is uncertain.
