What is recorded here
Situated in the valley of the Castlejordan River with a NNE-SSW section of the stream c. 50m to the SE. Extending WSW from the fortified house (ME052-004----) is a bawn wall (L c. 40m; T 1.2m; H c. 4m), overgrown with ivy and with some breaks, probably where dressed stone has been removed from embrasures. The tower house (ME052-005----) is c. 60m to the SW of the fortified house and may have occupied the SW angle of the bawn, but no traces of the bawn wall are associated with it and a later walled garden (dims c. 75m ENE-WSW; c. 35m NNW-SSE) occupies much of the area of the bawn.
