By the time of the Civil Survey conducted between 1654 and 1656, the structure was already described as ‘an old castle and bawne the walls onely standing’, suggesting it had fallen into disrepair by the mid-17th century. The survey records reveal the castle had multiple proprietors at that time, including Sir Nicholas White of Leaslipp in County Kildare, Marcus Magragh of Bleane in the Barony of Upper Ormond, and Daniel Kennedy of Ballycregane; all three men were noted as ‘Irish Papists’ in the contemporary documents.

Today, very little remains of this once-fortified site. In 1985, much of the castle was bulldozed to provide stone for building a silage pit, leaving only fragments of the original structure. What survives includes a portion of the eastern wall, roughly 0.8 metres thick, though its internal face has collapsed whilst the external face is supported by a mound of clay and fallen masonry. The lower section of a doorway can still be seen in its original position, and scattered throughout the area are architectural fragments showing punch dressing, a technique used to finish stone surfaces.

The castle originally featured a bawn, a defensive wall that would have enclosed a courtyard area around the main tower, though no trace of this fortification remains visible above ground today. These details come from archaeological surveys conducted in the early 2000s, with updates from subsequent research helping to piece together the history of this largely forgotten stronghold. The site serves as a reminder of how many of Ireland’s medieval castles have been lost not just to time and weather, but to more recent agricultural and construction needs.
