Historical records from the Civil Survey of 1654-6 describe this site as ‘a stone house and a Bawne inhabitted yett wanting repaire’, suggesting the structure was still occupied but deteriorating even in the mid-17th century. By the time Ordnance Survey officers visited in the mid-nineteenth century, they found substantial ruins of what they recognised as a mansion house, complete with surviving chimneys, two gables, and one sidewall built from limestone and lime mortar. The building measured approximately 16.5 metres long by 8 metres wide, with walls an impressive 1.2 metres thick and standing to a height of 6 metres.

The most intriguing surviving feature is a section of the original bawn wall, which extends 16.5 metres from one of the house’s gables. This defensive wall, measuring 1.6 metres thick, contains two curious arched openings; neither appears suitable as an entrance due to their unusual proportions. The southern arch spans 1.8 metres whilst the larger northern one measures 4 metres wide, with both having voussoirs that spring almost from ground level, making them too low for practical passage. The northern face of the bawn displays an unusual architectural feature: an oversailing wall about 2 metres high that projects 20 centimetres over the lower 3-metre section, though its original purpose remains unclear.

Unfortunately, the southern portion of the bawn wall, which contained the original gateway, was removed by the landowner approximately 20 years ago. Today, visitors can still trace the footprint of this once-imposing fortified residence, with various stone walls in the immediate vicinity dating from the nineteenth century, though some may incorporate earlier masonry. A plantation-type house built around 100 metres to the northeast serves as a reminder of how this landscape continued to evolve long after the original stone house and bawn fell into ruin.
