Late eighteenth-century house with Gothic revival features incorporates remains of tower house of rectangular plan. Original tower house at N end is recognisable at ground level by massive walls (T 1.5m), stone-flagged floor, and part of loop in E wall and mural stair. Large fireplace and entrance in N wall are probably of eighteenth-century date. No indications of barrel vaulting. Some indications of a loop embrasure or possibly cupboard on first floor but little evidence that tower house survives above ground-floor level. (Carloviana 1956, 14-15)
