Description
Situated on low natural rock outcrop in undulating countryside. Described in the Civil Survey (1654-6) as 'the ruines of an old castle ye walls onely standing and fower cottages' (Simington 1934, vol. 2, 334).

A four-storey rectangular tower (dims. 10.2m N-S; 13.2m E-W; wall T 2.1m) built with roughly coursed limestone rubble, the SW angle of which is destroyed. The main tower is entered through a destroyed doorway located at the centre of the E wall which gives access to a lobby above which are a series of small N-S rooms with a small barrel vault over the top room. The ground floor is accessed via a partially destroyed two-centred doorway directly opposite the main doorway. The lobby was protected by a guardroom (now destroyed) in the NE angle and gives access to spiral stairs in the SE angle via a two-centred doorway. From this stairs all the main upper chambers are accessed. At first-floor level accessed from the spiral stairs there is a mural passage in the S wall which leads to a destroyed garderobe in the SW angle, the outlet of which is visible at the base of the W wall. There is a barrel vault over the second floor which has a destroyed fireplace at the W end of the N wall and a large segmental-arched embrasure with a single-light window and stone seats to the E of the fireplace. The third floor above the vault is inaccessible - a twin-light ogee-headed window is visible at this level on the N wall. The corbels of a destroyed bartizan are visible on the NW angle. Fenestration consists of simple slit opes, single and twin-light ogee-headed windows. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Tipperary.
