Historical records from that year show it was in the possession of the Mac Creamon family, though its stones likely tell an even older story. Today, only fragments of this once formidable structure remain; the southeast wall stretches for just over 10 metres, whilst portions of the northeast and southwest walls still cling to their corners, reaching up to what would have been the first floor level.

The surviving architecture offers tantalising glimpses into how this tower house once functioned. A broken spiral staircase occupies the eastern corner, suggesting the main entrance was positioned in the northeast wall, whilst an internal wall would have separated this stairwell from the ground floor’s main chamber. The defensive nature of the building is evident in its narrow loop windows; one illuminates what remains of the stairwell, another is set deep within an embrasure in the southeast wall, with traces of a third visible in the southwest wall. These loops would have provided both light and defensive positions for archers whilst keeping the interior secure from attack.

Small details reveal the domestic arrangements of this medieval home. A stone corbel jutting from the southern corner indicates that the first floor was constructed of timber rather than stone, whilst on the exterior of the southeast wall, a garderobe chute shows where the medieval toilet facilities were discretely positioned. The tower house wasn’t isolated; it sits within the southern half of a bawn, a defensive courtyard wall that would have enclosed additional buildings and provided a first line of defence for the inhabitants and their livestock during troubled times.
