The structure, catalogued as TS077-087001, sits amongst farm buildings with an empty farmhouse to its west and agricultural structures flanking its northeast and southeast sides. What makes this site particularly intriguing is the surviving fragment of its original bawn wall; a defensive perimeter that once protected the tower and its inhabitants. This remnant, now covered in pebbledash with a concrete cap, extends northeast for about 1.8 metres from the tower house before connecting with a two-storey farmhouse, standing at roughly 2 metres in height.

Historical accounts paint a fuller picture of what this fortification once looked like. Writing in 1938, Lyons described a rectangular earthwork that originally enclosed the entire tower house, which occupied the northern corner of this defensive enclosure. By his time, only the southern angle remained visible, preserving portions of both the southeast and southwest walls, though dense vegetation has since made these features difficult to examine properly. The bawn’s gradual disappearance into the landscape represents a common fate for such structures across Ireland, where centuries of farming and rebuilding have absorbed medieval stonework into newer constructions.

The Ordnance Survey Letters from the 1930s provide a fascinating glimpse into how these medieval remains were repurposed by local farmers. O’Flanagan noted that parts of the bawn wall could still be seen incorporated into Mr. Kennedy’s property, where sections of the castle had been practically recycled into the walls of a dairy house. This pragmatic reuse of ancient stonework was typical of rural Irish communities, who saw these ruins not as monuments to preserve but as ready sources of building material for agricultural purposes. Today, what remains offers archaeologists and historians valuable insights into the defensive strategies of medieval Ireland, even as nature and human activity continue to reshape the site.
