"Arch. Inventory: Fortified house (site). IN woodland on a gentle S-facing slope at the shore of Lough Bofin, which is on the River Shannon. Built by the Scottish family of Nesbett, c.1640, it was captured, and probably burnt, during the Confederate wars. The ruins as depicted by Francis Grose c.1820 consist of two separate walls, each probably a gable of a two-storey house with an attic. Each wall has a large chimney stack, and one has a corner-turret supported on corbles. The remains have been removed, and nothing is visible at ground level (212). "
