The National Monuments Service's description
On a NE-SW section of the River Suck, at a point where it turns W. An O'Kelly castle (RO041-048001-), was extant here in the late 15th century at what must have been a fording point as the name suggests. Its location is not known but it may have been at the point where a bridge was built later.
