The site isn’t visible at ground level, making it something of a secret spot for those interested in Ireland’s forgotten fortifications. To the east, a deep quarry cuts into the landscape, whilst to the west, a trigonometric point marks the hill’s peak. The castle’s current state echoes what was recorded centuries ago; the Civil Survey of 1640 described it as ‘the stumpe of a castle Irepayreable’ standing on top of Sollaghodbegg hill, suggesting it was already in ruins by the mid-17th century.

The site has been significantly altered by quarrying activities over the years. A curvilinear hachured feature shown on the 1904 Ordnance Survey six-inch map might be connected to the original castle structure, though much of the area has since been quarried away. A grassed-over track, roughly two metres wide, has been cut into the western contour of the hill, complete with a ramp leading up to the pasture field where the monument once stood more prominently. This track likely served as a quarry road during the site’s industrial phase.

Evidence of the quarrying operations remains visible in the landscape. A deep, wide fosse and substantial earthen bank positioned downslope to the west of the track probably date from this period of extraction rather than the castle’s original defences. Despite these later intrusions, the site retains its historical significance as one of County Tipperary’s lost castles, a place where medieval fortification gave way to industrial exploitation, and now rests quietly beneath the grass of a hilltop pasture.
