What is recorded here

Freestanding single-bay two-storey tower or dovecote associated with Castle Wray (now ruinous, see 40905304), built c. 1750 and possibly containing earlier fabric (possibly a flanker tower to earlier bawn to site). Possibly later in use as a folly. Now out of use. Rubble stone walls with traces of early lime render over. Top now truncated. Located adjacent to remains of Castle Wray adjacent to stream to the north-east of house. Bridge located adjacent to the west. Set back from road in extensive mature former demesne lands to the north-east of Letterkenny, and to the south of Ramelton.
