The National Monuments Service's description
A castle in ruins is shown immediately to the E of a church in ruins (KD032-013----) on Taylor's 1783 map of County Kildare, but is not recorded on any OS mapping. The area has been improved and drained in recent times, and no visible surface trace survives.
