Situated on top of high ground in upland area. Circular tower (diam 9.2m; wall T 1.7m) four storeys high built with roughly coursed limestone rubble with base batter evident. The E side of the tower is destroyed, with evidence of wooden floors carried on stone corbels with punch dressing and drafted margins. There are two gun loops at ground floor with a mural passage leading to a garderobe in the SW angle at first floor level. The top two storeys are covered in ivy making examination difficult. Evidence of two fireplaces at SW and NW faces with two surviving tall rectangular shaped chimney stacks protruding from the top of the tower. The top two floors have a square interior plan with a circular exterior plan unlike the bottom two floors which are circular both inside and outside. There is evidence of a bawn wall attached to SW side of tower which returns NE where it is defined by grass covered rubble and would have returned onto the NE side of the tower. Overall the bawn (OF038-016002-) would have measured approximately 29.6m N-S by 24m E-W. Later 19th century demesne walls can be seen to the N with a 19th-century house built to the SE directly on line with the original bawn wall. O' Carroll castle (Cooke 1875, 186).

A townland is the smallest land division of Ireland, and the unit of a rural address; old registers such as the 1901 and 1911 censuses file it under its civil parish and barony.

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.
