The National Monuments Service's description
In level pasture, on E bank of Allow River. Heavily overgrown area with earthen bank visible (H 0.4m) curving NE->SE; remainder of area inaccessible owing to overgrowth. No visible remains of castle. According to Bowman (1934, 188), Egmont House, c. 75m to W across river, is built on site of castle. Healy (1988, 325) was informed locally that road between river and house was built on castle site. Castle of the Mac Donagh Mac Carthys (Ó Murchadha 1985, 63).
