The National Monuments Service's description
Towards the top of a SE-facing slope of Moydow Hill. There is a local tradition of the site of a castle, but no feature is visible at ground level in pasture and its precise location is not known. No castle or building is marked at Moydoe on the Strafford map of c. 1636 (Simington 1949, Athlone (419)).
