An inquisition held on John Isham who died in 1553-4 recorded that he had acquired a castle and 120 acres at Bryanstown from Robert and John Roche in 1546 (Hore 1900-11, vol. 2, 180-3), but it had returned to the Roches through the marriage of Isham’s eldest daughter to a Roche of Bryanstown in 1558 (Murphy c. 1994, 40-1). According to the Civil Survey (1654-6) a castle in indifferent repair and 200 acres at Bryanstown was owned by Nicholas Roche in 1641 (Simington 1953, 92). In the Cromwellian period Bryanstown passed to the Tench family, and in the 18th century it passed through marriage to the Leslie family (Murphy c. 1994, 41). From 1879-1850 Bryanstown was occupied by a branch of the Sweetman family (Manion 1987, 387). The tower house is situated on a gentle E-facing slope. A small tower is now incorporated in Bryanstown House with a N-S barrel vault over the first floor and two upper storeys are now functioning as one. The ground floor has two blocked lights in embrasures in the W wall. A projecting tower at the NE angle contains a stairs (now blocked) which led through a doorway (now also blocked) to the original first floor which has one window under the vault.
