This is a 4 storey 16th century tower house. 3 walls of the tower are still standing to a height of c.12m, but they are in ruinous condition. The dressings have been torn away from the bad quality whinstone rubble masonry.

Small fragments of a range of outbuildings extending east then north of the tower (01) can beseen here. There are probably contemporary with the tower. There are probably more on the west of the tower and probably formed a courtyard with those to the north and the east.
