The National Monuments Service's description

Named on Duncan's map (1821) as 'Castle in ruins'. Site accessible from laneway off Skerries-Lusk road. Located in low-lying field under tillage. Owner's grandmother talked of the castle in the 'Lane field'. Suggestion that the house (constructed in the early 19th century) stables and wall which incorporate large stones may have re-used stones from the castle. No visible surface remains.
