Situated c. 60m SW of the 17th-century church within the historic town of Bunratty. According to Westropp (1915, 316) ‘beyond the church is the massive buttressed pier of the ancient pigeon house’. In 1917 (opp. p. 14) Westropp indicates and names a pigeon house on his plan of Bunratty. The surviving portion is very ruined and overgrown. It comprises a straight stretch of roughly coursed limestone rubble extending S-N for 2.1m, angling at 45 degrees to E for 1.5m and continuing W-E for 1.17m (max. H 3m). It is not possible to make out definite niches on the interior.
