In gently undulating countryside. Constructed in the early seventeenth-century its last occupant was traditionall believed to be Dorothy Hedges who died in 1675 (Carrigan 1905, 129). A T-plan single pile, triple bay building (L 11.2m N-S) built of roughly coursed rubble limestone, three storeys high with projecting gable ended chimney stacks at the N and S gables and a projecting stairs tower on the centre of the West wall. Main doorway in centre of E wall and entrance from ground floor into the projecting west tower. Fireplaces in first and second floor level in S wall and in first, second and third floor level in N Wall. Tall diagonal chimney stacks visible on the centre of the N and S gables. It has large splayed flat headed windows (Craig 1982, 134-5).

They may have been traces of buildings associated with the castle or possibly the remains of a settlment associated with Derrin Castle.

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.
