The monument comprises a castle complex of the 15th - 17th centuries.
The various stone buildings at the heart of the complex are arranged around a central open courtyard. Those buildings along the S and W
sides are roofed and contain numerous fixtures and fittings (wood panelling, doors, partitions, etc). Those buildings on the W side are roofless and ruined and include a 15th-century tower house with substantial buried archaeology. The central section of the N side of
the courtyard is not built on but is enclosed by a stone curtain
wall.
The area to be scheduled includes not only the masonry castle but an irregular area around, measuring some 170 metres E-W by 130 metres transversely, in which traces of activities associated with its construction and use (including formal gardens and grounds) do and
may survive, as marked in red on the attached map.
