The site overlooks a river to the north, a strategic position that would have offered both defensive advantages and control over the surrounding landscape. Today, only grass-covered wall footings remain visible, tracing out the rectangular footprint of what was once a substantial structure.

The surviving walls, built from roughly coursed limestone rubble, hint at the building’s former solidity. At the southeast corner, the base of the wall shows evidence of a batter; a sloping design feature that helped strengthen defensive structures against attack. To the north of the main building, the outline of what may have been a rectangular bawn can still be traced. These fortified courtyards were common additions to Irish tower houses and strongholds between the 15th and 17th centuries, providing protected space for livestock and serving as an outer line of defence.

Archaeological surveys have documented the site as OF042-021001, though time and weather have taken their toll on the structure. No doorways, windows, or other architectural details remain visible above ground, leaving much about the building’s original appearance and exact function to speculation. The site forms part of County Offaly’s rich archaeological landscape, recorded in the county’s archaeological inventory published in 1997, with updates based on more recent field research.
