What is recorded here
Situated on level ground at the foot of a steep W-facing slope with gentle slopes to the W and N. A possible small bawn adjoining a tower house (WI021-028----). The S wall of the tower house continues westward (overall length of S wall 16m) turning northwards at its W end for 3.5m. This N-S section of wall survives as a single course only. Just W of the S wall is a gap (Wth 1.5m) which may represent a doorway with a small segment of wall running E-W (L c. 2m) beyond it. The tower house and possible bawn lie within an oval enclosure (WI021-028002-).
