The river runs north to south about 100 metres to the east of the site, where today visitors will find a flat-topped mound rising just over a metre high. This earthwork measures 25 metres from northeast to southwest and 16 metres across at its widest point, narrowing to 10 metres towards the northeastern end.

The mound preserves the grass-covered foundations of what appears to have been a rectangular building, roughly 10 metres by 13.5 metres in size. Several sections of walling still stand up to 0.7 metres high; these include fragments of the northeastern wall running for 3 metres, the southeastern wall with an 8-metre stretch and another 3-metre section slightly offset, plus a 2-metre portion of the northwestern wall. At the northeastern end of the mound, beyond the wall foundations, an overgrown heap of demolished stonework hints at the castle’s former grandeur. The site appears on the Down Survey maps from 1655-6, providing documentary evidence of its long history.

According to the historian Carrigan, writing in 1905, the castle’s cellars remained perfectly preserved beneath the surface even then, though only slight traces were visible above ground. These underground chambers may still exist today, hidden beneath the grass and earth that now cover this medieval stronghold. While the castle may not look like much from the surface, it represents centuries of Irish history; a fortification that watched over the Clogh River valley when medieval lords controlled these lands.
