Two fields north of Graystown Castle, visitors can explore the grass-covered wall footings of what was once a rectangular tower, along with traces of its defensive bawn wall that would have enclosed the tower’s courtyard.

The main bawn forms an impressive quadrilateral measuring 61 metres from northeast to southwest and 62 metres from northwest to southeast. Within this protective enclosure, a rectangular house occupies the eastern angle, its stone footings still visible beneath the grass. The domestic arrangements become more complex towards the northern section, where two additional buildings once stood; one was built directly onto the northwest wall of the main house, whilst the other was constructed against the inner face of the bawn’s northeastern wall, tucked into the northern corner.

This arrangement of structures tells the story of a fortified homestead that evolved over time, with the original tower and bawn later supplemented by additional domestic buildings as the settlement grew. The site’s elevated position on the rock outcrop would have provided both strategic advantage and symbolic dominance over the surrounding landscape, typical of Anglo-Norman settlements that needed to balance defensive requirements with agricultural management of the fertile lands below.
