Sir Charles Coote built a fortified house (RO039-061002-) and bawn at the site of Malby's fortified house (RO039-061001-) after 1616. Situated on a rise on the S bank of the W-E River Suck at a point where the river turns S c. 60m to the E.
The bawn (dims. c. 60m E-W; c. 40m N-S) surrounded the house, but nothing remains of it apart from the NE and SE towers which were part of Malby's house, mirrored by a featureless and poorly built hexagonal tower at the NW angle. The foundations of the SW tower and the W wall (T c. 1.6m) of the bawn were uncovered c. 1960 (Connellan 1962-3), and there is a well, recently conserved, ouside the NW angle of the bawn.
