The site, recorded on the 1837 Ordnance Survey map, once featured a polygonal enclosure measuring roughly 35 metres east to west and 25 metres north to south, with a distinctive projection extending northward from its northeastern corner. This enclosure likely served as a bawn; a defensive wall that would have protected a tower house, though the structure mysteriously vanished from later maps, disappearing entirely from both the 25-inch plan and the 1913 Ordnance Survey edition.

Today, visitors to the site will find only subtle traces of this once-fortified residence. The castle’s remains occupy a grassy area approximately 40 metres wide, flanked by boggy wetland to the west and a two-metre scarp that descends to a narrow riverside terrace on the east. Archaeological evidence is sparse but telling: low, grass-covered rises mark where walls once stood, with remnants of what appears to be a field boundary visible southwest of the main structure and another section apparent about 25 metres to the north.

The location itself speaks to the strategic thinking of medieval Irish builders, who chose this elevated position above the Easkey River for both its defensive advantages and access to water. While the physical structure has largely returned to the earth, the site remains an intriguing piece of Sligo’s medieval landscape, offering a glimpse into the network of tower houses and bawns that once dotted the Irish countryside during more turbulent times.
