Today, visitors will find little more than the distinctive mound itself, with the local church standing immediately to the west where stone and timber structures once formed part of a sprawling manor complex. The castle’s physical remains have long since vanished, but historical records paint a vivid picture of what stood here over seven centuries ago.

A remarkably detailed extent from 1303 provides a snapshot of the manor in decline, describing a castle atop the motte surrounded by a deteriorating wooden palisade, most of which had already collapsed by that date. The document reveals the estate was far more than just a defensive structure; it encompassed a new hall, an old wooden chapel, kitchen facilities, a larder, fish house, stable, granary, sheepcote, and malt kiln, though all were reportedly in poor repair after years of use. The manor’s economic infrastructure included a cowhouse positioned within the defensive fosse, a well maintained grange, and the remnants of a dovecote that once generated income.

The estate’s commercial operations were substantial for their time, with a mill and fishing rights to all the local ponds valued at £6, 13 shillings and 4 pence annually after maintenance costs. This combination of defensive, residential, agricultural, and industrial elements illustrates how medieval Irish manors functioned as self sufficient economic units. Though nothing visible remains at ground level today, the site offers a compelling example of how documentary evidence can illuminate places where the physical archaeology has been lost to time.
