Poor remains of a tower on a prominent mound with good aspect. So deep are the present ruins in the mound, that it must have contained a basement. Sections of all but the E wall are evident giving an overall outline 9m N-S by 10m E-W. Nowhere do outer and inner facing stones correspond while rubble fills the area within and outside the building to a considerable depth. A later residential building (int. dims. 18m N-S; 5.5m E-W) stands close to the N end of the tower. It contains two fireplaces and a gable chimney at its S end. The low remains of field banks and walls to the E, S, SW, and W survive of a possible associated medieval village.
