The National Monuments Service's description
A bawn wall of the Plantation period, constructed of stone and clay was, according to Davies, (1948a, 124-5) situated on an old road a little below the summit of Castlepoles hill. However, local tradition identifies the site of the castle as being c. 85m WSW of this (local information). There are no visible surface remains at either location.
