The shape it held in its prime.
A freestanding, rectangular four‑storey stone tower over eighteen metres tall, set directly on rocky tidal foreshore beside Clew Bay. Vertical, plain grey rubble masonry pierced by a few narrow slit and arched openings; a single ground‑level arched doorway faces the shore. The top has short projecting corner sections with a gabled roofline above a narrow parapet. Surrounding terrain is low grassy marsh and rocky outcrops with the rounded drumlin hills of Clew Bay on the far side of the water.
