The National Monuments Service's description
On a slight flat-topped bluff on the lower SW slopes of small stream valley, in rolling grasslands. Good views along and across the valley. Carrigan (1905, vol. 2, 321) refers to, 'a castle in the "Castle field" of Duncuff, but only small pieces of its walls remained in or about the year 1830, when the last traces of the building were removed. As the townland of Tinnislatty belonged to the Viscounts Mountgarret, the castle of Duncuff must have belonged to them likewise'. vestiges of a castle remaining until the 1830's. Field here known as 'Castle Field'. No visible surface indication. During fieldwork in 1987 a field in this townland, immediately S of the county boundary with Co. Laois, was identified as the castle field. The castle is not visible at ground level and its precise location within the field is unknown.
