The National Monuments Service's description

In pasture, on a low rise. Roughly rectangular area (dims. c. 46m N-S; 34m E-W) defined by scarp (Wth 4.75m; H 1.05m) to W, N and E and low scarp (Wth 1.9m; H 0.45m) to S. Fosse (overall Wth 6.55m; basal Wth 2.5m; D 0.3m) to E and slightly lower in profile to S (overall Wth 6.55m; Wth at base 2.5m; D 0.35m). Castle (TS060-040001-) is within, off-centre to W and various other irregular features are evident across the interior. Possible leat (long axis c. E-W) (dims. L 26m; max. Wth c. 6m; average D 0.55m) falls on an E-facing gradient from base of castle at E and across the enclosure to exterior. This may have served a drainage purpose taking foul waste from the garderobe and run-off water from the castle. An outer enclosing element encloses the rectangular enclosure to W and N and is defined by a low scarp (max. Wth 4.2m; max. D 0.9m) to S, S-half of W-side and N-side. Several rectangular areas exist between the inner and outer enclosure along the N-side. Remains of a barely traceable annexe survives as a low terrace adjoining S-end, W-side. Rectangular enclosure and outer enclosure (total dims. 94m N-S; 64m E-W) form a large roughly rectangular area. Depicted on latest edition OS 6-inch map as a rectangular area (dims. c. 60m N-S; c. 40m E-W) enclosed to S, W and N by an outer element which together form a larger rectangular area (dims. c. 90m N-S; c. 80m E-W). 'Ballinaclogh Castle (in ruins)' is named and depicted off-centre to W of the smaller rectangular area.
