First recorded as ‘Castle (in ruins)’ on the 1839 Ordnance Survey map, the site appears to have been depicted as a tree-planted orchard with what might have been a circular turret on its northwest wall. By 1922, surveyors noted this feature had taken on a D-shaped appearance extending beyond the original wall line, with its straight edge measuring about six metres.

Today, visitors will find a defensive structure in rather poor condition, though enough remains to appreciate its original design. The northwest wall survives best, stretching approximately 59 metres, whilst only fragments of the adjoining northeast and southwest walls remain; about two metres and twelve metres respectively. The most intriguing features are concentrated along that northwest wall, where a rectangular defended gateway still stands. This entrance, measuring just over twelve metres long and less than two metres wide, projects slightly from the wall line and features gun loops positioned at its corners for defensive fire. At the junction where the northwest meets the northeast wall, a circular turret rises from the ground, its 3.8-metre diameter structure containing at least two storeys with gun loops on the ground floor and, rather charmingly, a dovecote on the first floor.

The remainder of the bawn has left no visible traces above ground, and much of the southeast portion of the interior has been given over to agricultural use, with a large barn and farmyard now occupying the space. The rest of the interior remains featureless grassland, leaving visitors to imagine the domestic buildings and daily life that once filled this defended enclosure centuries ago.
