What is recorded here

The gatehouse (ext. dims 5.9m NW-SE; 3.2m NE-SW) is offset to the S and W of the W angle of the tower house (WX053-014001-). The entrance passage (Wth 2.45m), with a segmental arch at SW and a pointed arch at NE, is protected by a murder-hole inside the NE arch. The gate is secured by a single draw-bar socket with the remains of a timber beam in place. The murder-hole is controlled from the first floor, which is a lintelled chamber (int. dims 4.1m NW-SE; 1.5m NE-SW; H 2.65m) accessed by a lintelled doorway (Wth 0.78m; H 2.45m) from the second floor of the tower house. The parapet is destroyed, but it was accessed by a lintelled doorway (Wth 0.65m; H 1.92m) at the third floor of the tower house. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload; 25 March, 2014
