In pasture, on S-facing slope. No visible surface trace; demolished in the 1950s after a collapse; some cut stone in nearby garden of landowner. According to Healy (1988, 68), the building consisted of 'a high tower containing a flight of steps and a bell tower', it was apparently 'a semi-fortified house' erected in the middle of the seventeenth century' by Sarsfield family (Power 1923, 205).
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 2: East and South Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1994). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
