Though not recorded on the 1837 Ordnance Survey map, which showed only a farmyard at this location, the structure appeared on the revised 1913 edition as a U-shaped ruin bearing the name ‘Adamstown Castle (in Ruins)’. Today, a modern dwelling occupies the site where the castle once stood, its medieval stones long since repurposed or lost to time.

The castle’s strategic position becomes clearer when considering its immediate surroundings; approximately 60 metres to the west lies a ringfort, catalogued as WM025-130, suggesting this area held significance long before the castle’s construction. These ringforts, circular earthwork enclosures that dot the Irish landscape, typically date from the early medieval period and often indicate continuous habitation or strategic importance of a location through the centuries.

While the castle itself has vanished beneath modern development, visible only through historical maps and records, its story remains embedded in the landscape. The transformation from medieval fortification to farmyard to modern home reflects the layers of Irish history, where ancient monuments become absorbed into the everyday fabric of rural life, their stones recycled, their footprints built upon, yet their memory preserved in placenames and parish records.
