What remains today is a rectangular earthwork enclosure measuring approximately 35 metres east to west and 40 metres north to south, though you’d need a keen eye to trace its full outline. The southern wall stands as the most prominent feature, forming an embankment about 1.5 metres high with an external fosse, whilst the western and northern boundaries have been reduced to banks barely 60 centimetres in height. The eastern side has fared worst of all, nearly level with the surrounding meadow.

The castle itself, positioned towards the southern end of the enclosure, exists now only as low, grass-covered wall footings that make it nearly impossible to discern the original structure’s layout. Historical maps provide some clues to its former glory; the 1838 Ordnance Survey depicts it as a square building sitting within its rectangular bawn, though by the time of the 1908 revision, only the southern wall of the castle and its accompanying bank merited inclusion. When surveyed in 1942, investigators noted what appeared to be the remains of a house with possible projecting wings, its stone walls reduced to banks no more than 60 centimetres high and running about 11 metres in length.

Despite multiple archaeological surveys over the decades, including detailed examinations in 1942 and 1977, the site refuses to yield many of its secrets. The meadow grass that covers the area makes examination of the wall footings particularly challenging, and the scant remains offer frustratingly little information about the castle’s original appearance or function. What is clear is that this once-fortified site, with its defensive fosse and substantial enclosure walls, has been subject to centuries of agricultural activity and natural erosion, leaving only these subtle earthworks as testament to its existence.
