Situated on a slight SE-facing slope. Adamstown tower house (WX031-019001-) is at the N corner of a square enclosure (dims. c. 40m x c. 40m) defined by slight scarps and is also centrally placed within a grass-covered bawn now visible as a rectangular grass-covered area (dims. c. 70m NE-SW; c. 60m NW-SE) defined by a scarp. This is the bawn of one English acre with walls ‘20 feet high (H c. 6m)’ that survived with corner towers into the 19th century and which had other structures (Ffrench 1889, 85). The memorial stone (WX031-019002-) was taken from over the gateway of the bawn and is now built into the hallway of Adamstown House (WX031-056----).
