Two freestanding battlemented towers ( Second Tower to NW ) on square-plan, built c.1820, formerly part of the Creggan House estate (house demolished). Lime rendered walls with projecting ashlar limestone string courses and battlements to parapet.
An interesting pair of early nineteenth-century towers, originally associated with Creggan House (demolished), which retain their early form and character despite being out of use. These towers are well-built and have good quality ashlar limestone detailing with the battlemented parapets and the cut limestone mullioned and the ransomed window particularly noteworthy features.Creggan House, itself, was burnt down in 1921 and demolished prior to c.1930 and these towers now act as an historical reminder of the house.
