Located on flat well drained soils with good views in all directions. Four storey tower house (ext. dims 7.5m N-S; 9.8m E-W; wall T 1.5m) with attic above. Ground floor (int. dims. 4.3m N-S; 4.8m E-W) accessed by a main door of the two centred type located on the W wall with series of small barrel vaulted chambers directly over lobby area. Only half of the door survives with punch dressed jambs and yett hole visible. Door is protected by a small square shaped machicolation at wall-walk level. Immediately inside the doorway on the left hand side are the remains of a doorway which gives access to the spiral stairs in the NW angle from which all upper floors were accessed. Externally the tower house displays many defensive features such as a prominent base batter with masonry added to the corners, numerous musket holes, two diagonally opposite bartizans on the SW and NE angle at third floor level. Both bartizans are large square shaped projections carried on external corbels and accessed internally by a flat headed rectangular door.

The third floor is the main defensive room with access to the bartizans and a mural passage which is located in the E wall.

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.
