The tower house (WA007-021001-) is enclosed by a fosse (Wth c. 8m; D c. 1m) around the base of the rock outcrop SE-W. A bawn (dims. 30m N-S; 28m E-W) to the N is defined by a bank (Wth 2-3m; H 0.3-0.6m) at W, with traces of a stone wall (Wth 0.9m) at E and a scarp at N. The foundations of some houses, probably modern, survive inside the bawn. Two towers were associated with the bawn (Ryland 1824, 299-300), although only a fragment of one remains W of the tower house.
