Situated on flat pasture with extensive views. Present remains consist of the W wall of the tower house along with the W end of the N and S wall returns with no visible remains of the E wall. The surviving tower (ext. dims. 9.5m N-S approx. 5.95m E-W; wall T 1.3m) is four storeys high with a barrel vault over the first floor; elsewhere the building had wooden floors carried on large corbels. The spiral stairs in the SW angle are destroyed and a nineteenth-century dovecote has been inserted into the NW angle of the building. There is a machicolation visible at wall-walk level over the centre of the W wall. The main doorway (now destroyed) was probably located at the centre of the S wall. The windows consist of flat-headed single-lights at ground-floor level with twin-light ogee and flat-headed windows at second and third-floor levels. A single-light round-headed window in the SW angle has an interlace ring-headed cross decoration over the external head of the window. At first-floor level on the centre of the W wall there is a finely carved head in relief on the external face of the sill-stone of a window. A window on the NW angle at second-floor level has punch dressing in patterns similar to the mint in Carlingford, Co. Louth and Coole Castle, Co. Offaly which are both sixteenth century in date. A bawn wall (TN010-052002-) is attached to the SW and NE corners of the tower house with a nineteenth-century house and outhouse located inside the bawn area (ext. dims. 34.6m E-W; 47m N-S; wall T 0.82m). The bawn wall is constructed of roughly coursed limestone rubble with base-batter. A round-arched gateway with rebated punch-dressed jambs and hood-moulding over an arch with decorated terminals is located at the centre of the S 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.
