Castellated house of many periods, the earliest built in 1625, probably not tower house, but semi-fortified seventeenth-century house, which would be appropriate to the proportions of the front façade of the present structure. Extended in c. 1680, with further additions in 1720 and 1860. Apparently described by Down Survey as house ('There is a Bridge over the River Derrin neare the said House') which further suggests a building which was not heavily fortified. Still occupied. External examination only. (Bence-Jones 1978, 157)
