The remains of a late 16th century tower house, stand in a field 70m ENE of Low Clanyard farmhouse, and comprise a substantial part of the W gable and a fragment of its adjoining N wall. The tower was built for the Gordons of Clanyard and is recorded as ruinous in 1684. A fragment of a stone bearing a carved guilloche motif from the tower is incorporated in the S corner of the meal barn at Castle Clanyard farm.
