Marked on the First Edition Ordnance Survey 6-inch map simply as ‘Castle’, this tower house has left no visible trace above ground. Where medieval stones once formed defensive walls, modern tarmac now carries traffic; the site has been completely absorbed into the present-day road infrastructure.

The castle was likely a tower house, a type of fortified residence common throughout Ireland from the 14th to 17th centuries. These structures served as both homes and strongholds for local gentry, offering protection during turbulent times whilst displaying the owner’s status and wealth. Tower houses typically featured thick stone walls, narrow windows, and multiple storeys accessed by spiral staircases, with the ground floor often used for storage and the upper levels providing living quarters.

Historical records about this particular castle remain sparse, though Scott’s 1913 documentation confirms its existence and complete disappearance by the early 20th century. Like many Irish castles, it probably fell into disrepair following the upheavals of the 17th century, when changes in warfare, politics, and social structures rendered such fortifications obsolete. Today, motorists pass over its former location without any awareness of the medieval stronghold that once commanded this spot in the Wicklow countryside.
