What is recorded here

Located on a high bluff overlooking the twisting gorge of this SE-NE section of the River Bonet, with the stream c. 100m to the S and c. 120m to the W. The fortified house (LE014-008001-) is towards the NE end of the bawn (LE014-008002-) but is not attached to the bawn wall at any point. The original gatehouse (ext. dims 11.6m plus NE-SW; c. 6.5m NW-SE) was at the S end of the NW bawn wall and offset to the W. Its only substantial wall at SW (T 1.6m; H c. 3m) has a narrow entrance passage (Wth 0.7m) with a centrally placed portcullis-niche and a hanging eye and spud-stone internally for a door that was secured by three metal hoops on the other side. The NW wall has five gun-loops but there is no indication that there was ever a vaulted passage or upper level. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload; 1 September, 2016
