Unidentified stone tower - 15th to 18th century?

Anyone know what this place is?

 

It may originally have been part of a substantial stone-built structure as there are surviving walls nearby that probably belonged to some sort of dwelling house. Also nearby is a large enclosed area surrounded on four sides by a high and substantial walls that includes two pointed arch doorways and may have been a walled garden.

 

There is a stone tower of similar proportions surviving at the site of the long-gone Baronstown House at Kilbixy, County Westmeath. Barsonstown was an 18th century mansion built for Lord Sunderlin (Edward Malone).
