The structure consists of a mortared double-faced wall with a rubble core, featuring angle towers at the northeast and southwest corners. Originally described by architectural historian H.G. Leask in the late 1930s as L-shaped, the bawn embraces the tower house which forms an integral part of its defences. The surviving sections include substantial portions of the eastern, southern, and western walls, which still stand up to two storeys high in places, though the northern wall has largely disappeared save for a small section near the northeast angle tower.

The eastern wall, measuring approximately 17.45 metres in length, contains traces of three slightly splayed window embrasures that may have illuminated a single-storey hall that once occupied this side of the complex. The southern wall, the best preserved section at about 24.7 metres long, features a crenellated parapet with a series of holes that once held beams supporting an inner extension to the walkway; a clever defensive modification that would have provided additional protection for defenders. A gap measuring 2.6 metres wide in this wall likely marks the location of the original gateway into the bawn. The western wall, though only surviving for about 3.2 metres, shows clear evidence of being a later addition as it isn’t bonded to the main tower house structure.

The two angle towers showcase different states of preservation but both demonstrate sophisticated defensive planning. The northeast tower, with an internal diameter of 3.5 metres, retains six musket loops at ground level and traces of a slit window on the first floor, though heavy overgrowth now obscures much of the upper storey. The southwest tower fares better, standing two storeys high with its wall-walk intact, featuring a similar arrangement of musket loops at ground level and a fireplace on the first floor, all sitting atop a protective plinth around its base. These towers would have provided crucial flanking fire along the bawn walls, creating overlapping fields of fire that made any assault on the complex extremely hazardous.
