According to the 1922 Ordnance Survey 6-inch map, this tower house originally occupied the northwest corner of a small square bawn; a fortified enclosure measuring approximately 25 metres from north-northwest to south-southeast and 21 metres from west-northwest to east-southeast. The map shows walls that once extended southward from the tower’s southwest corner and eastward from its northeast corner, creating the protective perimeter typical of these Irish strongholds.

Today, however, the landscape tells a different story. While the tower house itself remains visible, no surface traces of the bawn walls can be found, despite what the early 20th-century surveyors recorded. The site has been altered by modern development, with a road now running immediately south of the tower house in a north-northeast to south-southwest direction, cutting through what would have been the original fortified enclosure.

This site represents one of many Irish tower houses that once served as both defensive structures and symbols of local power. The disappearance of the bawn walls, documented less than a century ago but now completely vanished, demonstrates how quickly these historical features can be lost to time and development. The information about this site was compiled by Olive Alcock and uploaded to archaeological records on 1 September 2016, preserving knowledge of what once stood here even as the physical evidence continues to fade.
