This river forms the natural boundary between Ballycorkey and Rathclittagh townlands, and whilst no stone walls or towers remain visible today, the site still tells a fascinating story through its earthworks. The 1837 Ordnance Survey map marks this location as ‘site of castle’, showing it standing within a square field at a time when the river ran considerably wider than it does now. A solitary dressed limestone fragment, likely medieval, sits embedded in a nearby roadside wall; perhaps the last tangible piece of the castle that once stood here.

The most intriguing feature that survives is a rectangular earthwork, measuring approximately 50 metres northeast to southwest and 55 metres north-northeast to south-southwest. This enclosure, possibly a bawn that once protected the castle, is now defined by a deteriorating earthen bank and shallow fosse, best viewed from aerial photographs. The northwest side has been obscured by spoil from river dredging operations, but low banks still extend southeast and east from the main enclosure. An old roadway, now visible only as an earthwork, runs through the field immediately to the south-southeast of the castle site.

The surrounding fields contain several linear earthworks that might date to the castle’s heyday or could simply be the remnants of later drainage ditches from the post-medieval period. Just 60 metres to the west, the 1837 map records an eel weir, whilst Ballycorkey Bridge stands 100 metres to the northeast, placing this lost castle at what was clearly once an important crossing point and fishing spot along the River Inny. Though time and agriculture have erased most physical traces of the medieval stronghold, the subtle undulations in the landscape continue to mark where it once commanded this strategic riverside location.
