Located on the upper edge of the bawn rock, c. 0.75m to S and c. 1.38m to W of Tyredagh tower house (CL027-023002-). The low, sod-covered remains of a bawn wall (T 1.05m; max. H 0.2m) extend (L 6.1m) along the S side. These low remains are best preserved at the SW corner, where two to three courses can be seen rising (H 0.5m) above the scarp of the bawn rock. The bawn wall (T 0.85m) extends (L 6.1m) along the W side before it runs into an expanse of rock outcrop, which the rest of the bawn wall was probably built upon, but which no longer survives. The rock outcrop extends (L 3.9m) along the W side, where it terminates almost in line with the N-wall.
