The National Monuments Service's description
On flat pasture with good views in all directions. There are no surface remains of the castle depicted on the Strafford Survey of 1637 (NLI 16.1.17 (13)) which appears to have been in the vicintiy of Rathkennan House, an 19th-century farmhouse and outbuildings. A nearby motte and bailey (TS046-027002-) may be the castle depicted on the Stafford Survey. The exact location of this monument is unknown.
