  Description

  Situated on rock outcrop on a gentle S-facing slope. There are no historical references to this site, although it is recorded on a Down Survey (1655-6) map and the land here was owned by Francis Bryver of Waterford in 1640 (Simington 1942, 144). A rectangular tower (dims. 9.7m N-S; 8.7m E-W) with a slight base-batter and cut-stone quoins, of which only the ground floor survives complete. A destroyed doorway towards the N end of the E wall, protected by a guardroom in the N wall, leads through a lobby to the ground-floor chamber (int. dims. 6.2m N-S; 4.75m E-W) which has round-headed lights in the N, W and S walls, a destroyed fireplace in the S wall and a garderobe with corner loop at the NW angle. Mural stairs in the E wall rise to the first floor, which was supported on corbels in the E and W walls. There is evidence of corner loops at this level at the SE and SW angles, a window in the S wall and a garderobe in the N wall.
