On a slight rise in undulating pastureland overlooking Callow Lough to NE. In existence in 1574 when it was in the possession of 'Wm OKelly' (Nolan 1901b, 120). All that survives are sections of W wall (L 16m), while a short section of a wall running off to NE may be part of the original building. The only architectural features are a plain lancet window on ground floor and a recess for corbels on 1st floor. A farmhouse with outhouses has been built to E of the wall.
