A now unroofed three story structure (L c. 38m; Wth c. 7m) enclosed by an roughly square outer bawn wall with bastions at the NW and SE corners. Constructed c. 1800, in a strategic location overlooking the valley. It was one of a group of barracks built on the Military Road after the 1798 rising. It is reputed that Michael Dwyer laid siege to the barracks from the surrounding high ground on at least one occasion.
