As it stood in 1500

The shape it held in its prime.

A compact, vertical three-storey tower house with a garret beneath gabled ends and a pitched roof, built of rough grey masonry. The roofline is finished by a crenellated parapet with the remains of two small cap-houses rising above it. Narrow window slits and larger openings puncture the façades. A small barmkin or fenced yard lies to the southeast. The tower stands close to the shoreline on low marshy ground with a steep, bare hill rising directly behind it.
