This circular stronghold, now surviving only to first floor level, was constructed from coursed sandstone blocks with a slight base batter measuring 1.6 metres high. The western exterior has suffered significant damage from stone robbing over the centuries, whilst the remains of a garderobe chute can be seen at the northeast, though its exterior has broken away.

The main entrance faces south through a round-headed limestone doorway, featuring external rebates and chamfering. Only the western jambs remain intact, complete with a yett-hole and drawbar-hole built into the wall thickness. This doorway opened into a defensive lobby equipped with a murder-hole above; a classic feature of tower house design intended to rain down projectiles on unwelcome visitors. From this lobby, a doorway to the west leads to mural stairs with stone-lintelled roofing, whilst the ground floor chamber, measuring 5.8 by 4.45 metres internally, would have been accessed through another doorway that has since collapsed. Three windows provided light to this square ground floor space, positioned at the west, northwest and northeast.

The first floor, reached via the mural stairs, featured a wooden floor beneath a pointed stone vault that remains in good condition today. According to the Ordnance Survey Letters from around 1840, the tower once stood four storeys tall with vaulted roofs over the first and third floors, and twelve flat-headed windows, though none were in perfect condition even at that time. Recent years have seen further deterioration, particularly at the southeast side where collapsed masonry now lies in a heap, and the southwest window has given way, leaving only the southern side of the embrasure and a stone lintel as evidence of its former presence.
