The site consists of a low rectangular platform, measuring approximately 15 metres east to west and 11 metres north to south, with the earthworks rising to about half a metre in height. Local tradition maintains these subtle traces mark the location of a former castle, a claim that gains credibility from historical cartography.

The 1752 Map of County Kildare, created by Noble and Keenan, depicts a castle in this general area, providing documentary evidence that supports the local oral history. While the stone structure itself has long since vanished, likely quarried for building materials over the centuries, the underlying earthwork platform remains as a ghostly footprint of the building that once stood here.

Today, visitors to the site need a keen eye to spot these archaeological remains amongst the pastoral landscape. The platform’s modest dimensions suggest this was likely a tower house rather than a grand fortress; these fortified residences were common throughout Ireland from the 15th to the 17th centuries, serving as both defensive structures and symbols of local authority. Though time and agriculture have reduced this once-proud building to little more than a bump in a field, it remains a tangible link to Kildare’s medieval past.
