On the top of a gravel knoll (c. 80m E-W; c. 60m N-S) surrounded by bog and reclaimed grassland. The knoll is approached via a causeway (L c. 30m; Wth c. 4m; H c. 0.8m) from the SE. On top of the knoll is a rectangular bawn (20m N-S; 26m E-W) with fragmentary remains of a tower (SL021-068----) at its SW corner and a gateway near the S end of its E wall. The bawn gateway is situated near the S end of the E side, overlooking the causeway. Only the S side of the gateway opening survives; there is no indication of a structure inside but the ground level dips steeply down towards the opening. Flanking the gateway is a single gun loop on either side. There are no other apparent features on the bawn wall though stretches of it have been repaired and rebuilt in the recent past.
