In pasture, on level platform, overlooking Bregoge River valley to E. Only west gable wall (L 9.9m), and short returns of N wall (L 2.8m) and S wall (L 2.7m) now stand. Gable stands to three storeys with attic, over basement. All standing walls have continuous machicolations at eaves level. Edge coping of gable almost intact; chimney stack survives on gable apex. Some stones protruding from exterior N wall suggest bawn wall was once attached here. Central windows in W wall at ground-, 1st- and 2nd-floor levels; all embrasures splayed and appear to have been lintelled, but lintels now missing; ground-floor ope badly damaged; window on 1st floor has rectangular light divided by two mullions, N one missing, covered by hood moulding; similar window on 2nd floor but with one mullion, now missing. Splayed W ingoings of window embrasures, on surviving sections of N and S walls, visible at ground-, 1st- and 2nd-floor levels.

Everytownland reads the registered freehold land and the statutory boundaries of Tailte Éireann, the national zoning, planning file and heritage records of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, and the Residential Property Price Register. A parcel is the land of a title, not an address. The owner's name is in the Land Registry of Tailte Éireann: a copy of the folio can be ordered on landdirect.ie, for a fee; this site names no owner. A price is the price recorded for a past sale, not a valuation.
