Complex of two-storey outbuildings, arranged around a central courtyard, to the rear (southeast) of Tullystown House (15400112). Now largely ruinous and out of use. Contains later medieval fabric (WM001-014---). Roofs now largely missing, originally pitched natural slate roofs. Constructed of coursed rubble limestone with dressed limestone surrounds to the openings. Evidence of original lime render survives, Square-headed door and window openings and segmental-headed carriage arches with dressed limestone voussoirs. Window and door fittings now gone. Loop hole openings. Substantial rubble limestone boundary wall encloses site to south. Possible walled garden to the west end of site. Located to the east of Finnea and in close proximity to the border with Co. Meath to the north and east.
An impressive complex of ruinous outbuildings to the rear of Tullystown House (15400112), which retains its early form and character. They are very well-built using local limestone and have good dressed limestone detailing to the openings. This complex contains the remains of a later medieval tower house (WM001-014---) and much of the fabric from this structure appears to have been reused in the building of the outbuilding complex. The southern boundary wall appears to incorporate the remains of an earlier bawn wall associated with this tower house. This substantial complex forms and interesting group of associated structures along with Tullystown House (15400112) and adds a further historical and archaeological dimension to the site.
