A mid-19th century watercolour by Du Noyer, published by Manning in 2001, captures the castle when it was in far better condition; showing one half still standing to its full five storeys plus attic height, complete with a vaulted first floor and two projecting corner towers with parapets. The artist’s depiction also shows a heap of rubble where the other half of the monument once stood, suggesting the castle had already suffered significant collapse by that time.

The castle sits in open pasture land, with a small stream flowing southward to the west providing natural drainage. Its location appears to have been carefully chosen within a broader medieval landscape; the remains stand within an ancient field system that also encompasses a medieval church and graveyard approximately 160 metres to the west-southwest. A small bridge crosses the intervening stream about 50 metres from the castle, connecting these medieval sites and hinting at the area’s long history of settlement and religious significance.

What survives today is considerably more modest than Du Noyer’s watercolour suggests. The ivy-clad remains consist of a single rectangular corner tower, now only three storeys high and quite small internally, measuring just 1.9 metres long by 1.5 metres wide. Built from roughly coursed limestone blocks with carefully hammer-dressed corner stones, the walls are nearly a metre thick. A narrow lintelled window opening can still be seen in the southwest wall at first-floor level. Archaeological evidence suggests this tower projected about 2.3 metres from the southwest corner of what was once a larger tower house, though interestingly, it doesn’t appear to have contained a staircase, suggesting access was gained from the main structure.
