As it stood in 1490

The shape it held in its prime.

A tall rectangular stone towerhouse of uniform grey limestone with a straight, flat-faced silhouette rising from hedgerow and pasture. The principal façade shows a vertical alignment of small slit windows and a stacked set of larger mullioned windows; the top is finished with a continuous crenellated parapet and corner projections. A pitched slate roof sits just behind the battlement line. The masonry is coursed rubble with occasional ivy and weathering visible, and the tower stands solitary in low agricultural ground.
