Castle, a plain but massive specimen of a late 16th century date. It is a modified Z-plan tower house, four storey with a vaulted basement, and comprising a central keep, with towers at diagonally opposite angles. It is built of harl and slate, the corners rounded and corbelled out to the square at eaves level, and the gables are crow-stepped. The towers no longer have a tower-like appearance externally, they merely form part of the house. An inset stone over the door is dated 1576. The rooms on the ground floor are all barrel-vaulted. The entrance and principal stair are placed in the southeast re-entrant angle to the south of the central block, and a secondary stair is corbelled out in a corresponding angle to the north of the central block. Disused from 1948 it was restored in circa 1993.
