In farmyard; fragmentary remains of small tower house standing to 4 storeys with conjoined rectangular structure to N standing to 1 storey. Little is known of the site's history; it was already ruinous and reduced in height when depicted by Grose in early 19th century. Coleman (1913) connects it with both Coppinger and Cotter families but considers that 'this castle may have been originally a Geraldine foundation'.
