What is recorded here

A fifteenth century tower house, rectangular in plan with a square projecting turret at the SE corner. The original entrance was in the W wall. There are three floors over a barrel vault, with access to upper floors and to the wall walks by a mural stairs in W wall. There is a garderobe in the SE corner of the first floor, and crenelated battlements on the roof. The tower house is now incorporated into an eighteenth century double-gabled house. The columbarium (KD038-019002-) with a barrel vault and a later pigeon loft immediately to to the S of the tower house is probably a modified bawn turret.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
