Rising 200 metres northwest of a nearby stream, this elevated spot bears the telltale signs of former earthworks; irregular grassy banks, scarps and berms particularly visible on the eastern and southern slopes, though quarrying has disturbed portions of the eastern side. The hillock caught the attention of antiquarians in the 1920s when the Ordnance Survey Letters recorded that locals spoke of a castle somewhere in the townland, though its exact location remained unspecified at the time.

The summit reveals more tangible evidence of past structures. A flat platform measuring 16 metres northwest to southeast and 8 metres northeast to southwest sits defined by a scarp, its surface scattered with substantial blocks of dressed limestone. Among these architectural fragments lie pieces of particular interest: portions of an arch and a chamfered section that likely formed part of a window jamb or fireplace mantel. The style of stonework and dressing techniques point to construction during the 16th or 17th century, placing this structure within Ireland’s tumultuous early modern period.

While the full extent and nature of the original building remains unclear, these carved stones and earthwork traces suggest this hillock once supported a structure of some importance, whether a tower house, fortified residence, or small castle. The site stands as one of countless examples across the Irish landscape where local memory preserves knowledge of historical structures long after their walls have fallen, with only dressed stones and altered earth remaining to mark where they once stood.
