What remains today is a complex structure that began life as a three-storey rectangular tower house, measuring approximately 6.5 metres in length and 5.5 metres in width. The original medieval fortification was later incorporated into the northern section of a two-storey house, creating an unusual hybrid building that tells the story of changing times and architectural needs in rural Ireland.

The tower house retains several intriguing medieval features despite its poor preservation. Traces of a spiral staircase can still be spotted in the northwest corner, whilst the southwest wall preserves evidence of what may have been the original entrance; a pointed arch doorway typical of medieval Irish architecture. When the later house was added, builders clearly saw value in the old stonework, incorporating numerous cut stone fragments from the tower house into their new construction. The site once included a bawn wall, the defensive perimeter typical of Irish tower houses, and remarkably, some 28 metres to the east, gun loops from this fortification survive, now incorporated into the modern property boundary.

Unfortunately, sections of the tower house, the later house addition, and the bawn wall were demolished in 1992, prompting local authorities to issue a preservation order that same year to protect what remained. This site, recorded in archaeological surveys from 1993, serves as a reminder of how Ireland’s medieval heritage has been adapted, reused, and sometimes lost over the centuries. The survival of features like the gun loops in an ordinary field boundary shows how traces of the past can persist in unexpected places, waiting to tell their stories to those who know where to look.
