  Confidence: It is doubtful that this site was a medieval fortification or palace.   Major remains.
Very small tower house attached to later building. PastScape records as " A house which is dated 1687 and may possibly be of early C17 date, with mid C19 additions and alterations. It is of pebbledashed rubble with a slate roof and is two-storeys high. The facade has a central section of two bays, with a one-bay cross-wing to the right and a one-bay C19 tower at the left. Between the two central bays is a single-storey gabled porch. Inside, the floor was removed from the central room in C19, forming an open hall with gallery."
This is a Grade 2* listed building protected by law*. (Images of England number 182430)
