The mural stairs in the W end of the S wall and a small guardroom in the SE angle were also accessed from the lobby. A single-light ogee-headed window has been inserted into the E gable of a shed to the N of the tower house. According to the OS Letters the tower collapsed in the high winds of January 6th, 1839 (O'Flanagan 1930, vol. 3, 28).
