Located on a slight NW-SE spur with a NW-SE stream c. 350m to the NE that loops around to the S and W and is c. 500m to the SW flowing N. The Fitzhenrys were the principal landowners in Kilcavan from at least the mid-13th century (Jeffrey 1979, 79-80). The flashing of a large building, probably of one storey and attic, is visible on the outer face of the E wall of the tower house (WX046-001001-), and the original S wall (T 0.7m) of this structure is present in a small one-storey house (ext. dims 18.95m E-W; 8.45m N-S) that is still occupied. There is a square hood moulding externally over one of its windows in the S wall. Internally, this is a blocked pointed doorway. Kilcavan parish church (WX046-002001-) is c. 400m to the SE.
