The National Monuments Service's description
In gently undulating pasture. There was no visible surface trace of the castle in 1986 (SMR file), however, two sides of a possible bawn were noted defined by very low, broad banks (H c. 0.2m; W c. 2m), suggesting a possible rectangular enclosure (est. dims L c. 80m E-W; Wth c. 50m).
