Background
Architecture
The tower comprised a main block, with a vaulted basement, and a stair wing, with a tower added at a corner. The main tower was rectangular, with the wings on its north. One vaulted cellar, which measured 28.5 ft by 16.5 ft, had two aumbries in the north west wall. There was a service-stair to the north tower, and a door into a vaulted chamber (measuring almost 12 ft by over 11 ft with an aumbry in the south west gable) the lowest storey of the south wing. The tower is constructed of freestone rubble. Its windows, which are small, have rounded arises.
