Evenly spaced, double-splayed embrasures to NE, N, NW, W and SW; latter ope smaller than other four which appear similar; all now blocked up at narrowest point (c. 0.85 from outsid eedge; c. 1.5m from inside edge; wth c. 0.6m). Inside of embrasures (wth1.75m) covered by plank-centred segmental arch (H c. 1.85m), base at floor level; outside covered by upward inclined lintels with downward inclined sill and splayed sides (max.

Door from spiral stairs blocked and room now entered through recent doorway to S. Five evenly-spaced embrasures, off-set with ground floor opes, covered by segmental arches. Three central embrasures adopted to take window frames; embrasure to E has outer half blocked; embrasure to W has front part ivided by horizontal slab, below is splayed ope similar to those at ground level, now blocked; above is squat round-headed light. Stone corbels indicate level of original wooden roof. Ground floor embrasures purpose-built gun ports; opes at first floor probably had similar function. Original tower ends at this height with plain cornice course but 18th century paintings show it standing at least two stories higher (Coleman 1914, facing 168; Coleman 1915, facing 1); these show 'handsome octagon room' (Smith 1750, vol 1, 358) atop tower and abutting tower to S gable-ended two-storey house, both of 18th century appearance.

Pain, in neo-Gothic style; courtyard flanked by further embatteled buildings to W and S with stone wall to E; to S original circular tower, now surmounted by slimmer tower rising a further three storeys with slender turret attached containing spiral stairs (presumably rebuilt upwards from first floor level in 19th century); on E side of tower elaborate water-gate leading to slipway. Built c. 1582 by citizens of Cork 'with artillery to resist pirates and other invaders' (Flood 1915, 102; Hayes-McCoy 1964, 32); sometimes mistakenly ascribed to Mountjoy (Smith 1750, vol 1, 358; Lewis 1837, vol. 1, 208 (Lewis gives date 1604); Coleman 1914, 169).
