What is recorded here
Some 6m S of a tower house (KD010-022001-) and separated from it by a later building, a short portion of wall (L 5.8m E-W; H 3.1m; T 1m) built of roughly coursed rubble masonry contains a blocked loop, and may be the remains of a bawn wall. A tall gate pier at its W end is not bonded to the wall and appears to be a later feature.
