Around 15 years ago, the structure was demolished and its stones unceremoniously buried in an old limekiln nearby. According to local landowners, the building rose at least two storeys high before its destruction, and today only a barn and concrete yard occupy what was once the castle’s footprint.

When the Ordnance Survey Letters documented the site in the 19th century, they described ‘the ruins of a square castle’ built from limestone. At that time, considerably more of the structure survived; the eastern wall stretched 22 feet 6 inches (6.9 metres) in length and stood 28 feet (8.4 metres) high, with portions of the north and south walls extending 13 feet (3.9 metres) from the corners. The main doorway, located on the eastern end, had already been destroyed by around 1840, leaving historians to piece together the building’s original layout from the remaining fragments.

The castle’s interior revealed some interesting architectural features before its final demolition. The first floor was supported by a stone arch, of which only a fragment survived into the modern era, and two flat-headed windows punctuated the eastern wall. These details, recorded by O’Flanagan in 1930 and later compiled in the Archaeological Inventory of County Tipperary (2002), suggest this was likely a modest defensive residence typical of medieval Irish tower houses, though its exact date of construction and the identity of its builders remain lost to time.
