Today, visitors will find only a raised earthen platform, roughly square in shape and measuring 9 metres east to west by 10 metres north to south. This modest mound is all that survives of the castle’s foundations, offering a rather understated monument to centuries of local history.

One of the more intriguing features of the site is a peculiar ridge extending from the eastern side of the platform. Measuring about 2.5 metres wide, this earthwork may represent the original approach road to the castle, though centuries of erosion and agricultural activity have left its exact purpose open to interpretation. Archaeological surveys conducted by O’Flanagan in 1933 found no evidence of cut or decorated stonework at the site, suggesting that any dressed stones were likely robbed out long ago for use in local building projects, a common fate for abandoned castles across Ireland.

The castle may have originally featured a bawn wall, a defensive enclosure typical of Irish fortifications, though no trace of it remains visible today. Archaeologists suspect it might have stood to the east of the main structure, where a modern orchard now grows. Even the nearby outhouses, which might have incorporated recycled castle stones in their construction, show no evidence of worked masonry from the original building. This thorough disappearance of the castle’s stonework speaks to the practical recycling habits of rural communities, where abandoned fortifications often served as convenient quarries for generations of local farmers and builders.
