A castle of Mac Dermot Roe on the E shore of Lough Arrow, c. 30m from the lake. The remains of the three-storey fortified house (RO003-012----) survive at the SE angle of the bawn (int. dims. 28m E-W; 19m N-S), which lacks its W wall but which has fragments of a gatehouse on the S wall.
The N and E bawn walls survive almost intact (H 3-3.5m; T 1m) with six gun-loops in the N wall and six in the E wall, but with no evidence of a wall-walk or parapet. The foundations (H 1-1.3m; T 1m) of a circular tower (int. diam. 3.9m) entered directly from the bawn and with one surviving gun-loop are at the NW angle. Towards the W end of the S wall is the gatehouse (RO003-012002-), with one surviving gun-loop. The possible motte (RO003-022----) is c. 115m to the SSW.
