What is recorded here

At the highest point of the motte (CV011-013002-), at ESE, there are foundations of a small, subcircular, mortared stone structure (int. dims. 2.05m x 2.9m). Davies (1947, 81) interpreted this as the remains of a tower and speculated that it may be 16th-century in date.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record CV011-013003
