Built in the 15th century, Lennox Tower stands on a promontory, the south end of which is terminated by a ditch 1.8m deep, and the site was probably surrounded by a barmkin.

The tower is now in a ruinous state, the north and west walls standing to a height of 7.5m, and the south and east walls to a height of 1.8m.
