A MacCarthy tower house standing 72 feet high, and said to have been built in 1450, stands on a rock in the grounds of a former 18th to 19th century house of the Wallis family.

They became the outright owners in 1728; it was they who added a parapet and a roof in the 19th century, and also the adjacent circular tower.
