Today, only the eastern corner of this once two-storey structure remains standing, comprising a southeastern wall stretching seven metres and a tiny stub of the northeastern wall. A small rectangular corner tower, possibly a later addition, projects from the southwestern end of the main wall, measuring just 2.65 metres by 2 metres. The castle overlooks what archaeologists believe to be a deserted medieval settlement, with a medieval church and graveyard sitting roughly 350 metres to the south-southeast.

The surviving walls reveal fascinating construction details; they’re built from randomly coursed limestone blocks that encase a rubble core of angular stones set in dense mortar packed with pebbles, gravel and slate. Patches of heavy, almost concrete-like render still cling to the stonework, whilst the southeastern wall shows a slight base batter that’s notably absent from the corner tower. An irregular opening in the southeastern wall likely marks where a doorway once stood before being robbed of its stones. The inner walls bear telltale scars of a long-gone vault that once covered the ground floor, oriented northeast to southwest, which probably supported a loft beneath its arch.

The corner tower holds particular interest with its chimney system built into the southeastern wall. At ground level, the base of one flue has been robbed out, but it rises to first-floor level where it runs behind a second flue. This second flue flares out to accommodate what was once a fireplace, now also stripped of its stonework, with some red brick still visible within the flues. Just southeast of the castle, traces of what appears to be a bawn; a defensive wall that would have enclosed the castle’s courtyard; can still be detected in the landscape, adding another layer to this medieval puzzle.
