What remains today tells a story of continuous occupation spanning nearly six centuries, with each era leaving its architectural mark on the site. The original four-storey tower house, constructed from roughly coursed limestone rubble, now stands partially ruined with only its north wall and part of the west wall still intact. A circular tower connects to the western side via the original bawn wall, which once would have enclosed the entire complex by returning eastward to meet the tower house again.

The tower house retains several fascinating medieval features that hint at both its defensive purpose and the daily life within its walls. A bartizan juts out from the northeast corner at battlement level, and curiously, a Sheela-na-gig carving sits beside the corbel of another, now destroyed bartizan; a rare example of this enigmatic medieval stone figure incorporated into a defensive structure. Inside, a mural passage on the first floor’s east wall leads to a garderobe in the northeast corner, with another privy positioned directly above on the second floor. The layout speaks to the practical considerations of medieval castle life, where comfort and defence went hand in hand.

During the 16th or 17th century, the castle underwent significant expansion that transformed it from a simple tower house into a more complex fortified residence. A larger bawn wall, measuring roughly 50 by 53 metres with a one-metre thickness, was constructed with its own wall-walk and an impressive two-centred gateway featuring punch-dressed jambs and external machicolation. A substantial fortified house was added to the south of the tower, forming the western side of this new bawn. This addition included intriguing features such as a gun tower at the southwest corner, a peculiar double fireplace in the south gable with no visible chimney flue, and mural stairs providing access to the defensive wall-walk. Later still, a Georgian farmhouse was built against the eastern bawn wall, bringing the story of occupation well into the modern era and creating the fascinating architectural palimpsest visible today.
