Remains of castle and dovecot. An L-plan towerhouse of three storeys with projecting staircase on the north side. Above the doorway in the re-entrant angle is a stone dated 1565. Basic fabric is 16th century, the re-construction is late 17th century, being confined to windows, internal details and probably the square projecting tower at the north side. It was accidentally burnt in 1734 when it fell into ruins. There is a vaulted ground floor, east vault intact, the west kitchen vault has fallen. A courtyard lay to the south, in the southeast corner of which stood a circular tower with vaulted basement and shot-holes. The upper storey was a dovecot. Now only a stump remains. Sits within a 17th - 19th Century designed landscape (NJ92NE0052).
