What remains are grass-covered earthen banks, low and unassuming, tracing the outline of a building that once measured over twenty metres in length. It sits within a bawn, the term for an enclosing defensive wall or bank that typically surrounded a house or castle of the period, and the whole complex occupies a slight rise of rock outcrop with open views in every direction. To the south, a deserted medieval settlement adds another layer of abandonment to the scene.

The arrangement of structures here is quietly telling. The house and its bawn were built differently from the adjoining stone castle and bawn a short distance away, using earthen construction rather than stone. This distinction suggests either a later date of construction or a difference in the social standing of whoever occupied this part of the complex. Two further buildings were raised to the northwest of the main house, set against the inner face of the bawn, and one of them was built directly onto the northwest wall of the long rectangular house, suggesting incremental growth rather than a single planned build. The interior dimensions of the main house, roughly 20.3 metres along its longer axis and 11.4 metres across, point to a substantial dwelling, far beyond a simple farmstead, yet its earthen fabric has left it far less visible than the stone structures nearby.
