RCAHMS 1933, visited 1927
NO 4035 2301 The remains of this tower, 6.0m long and 1.1m thick, are situated in a commanding position upon the summit of a rocky knoll, with steep natural slopes on the NW, and more gradual slopes on the other sides. Along the NW edge of the Knoll is a grass-covered bank, 2.0m wide, 0.5m high and 37.0m long, and a similar bank, 11.0m long, runs along the south side. These probably represent the remains of a courtyard wall.
