What is recorded here

Situated on summit of hill, within a demesne. A square brick tower (L of walls 2.82m), three storey's high with overhanging battlements. On the W side is a rectangular doorway at ground level, a slit window at first floor level and a double lighted window on second floor level. The E wall is similar to the W except the doorway is blocked up while the S and N walls only have windows on the second floor level. There was a possible fireplace in the SE corner of the second floor. The interior has a smooth plastered finish and the exterior is roughly plastered. The first floor sat on a ledge while the second floor was borne by timbers. (ASI field report by Peter Danaher, dated 30 May 1967) Compiled by: Claire Breen Date of upload: 9 August 2012
