The National Monuments Service's description

Located on a slight S-facing slope and immediately in the area to the N and E of the motte (ME041-014----). A roadway (Wth c. 5-15m; L c. 180m) defined by earthen banks extends NNE from the vicinity of the site of the medieval parish church of Castlerickard (ME041-015----) and the motte, and then turns NE (L c. 180m). It is visible on aerial photographs (GSIAP: N 304, 302) and is also visible on Google Earth (18/04/2009; 17/07/2016; 24/03/2017), OSAP (2005; 2017) and Digital Globe.
