Today, only fragments of limestone walls remain; the south end of the eastern wall stretches for about 8.2 metres and rises to 2 metres in height, whilst a mere 1.6 metres of the southern wall survives at the southeast corner. The castle’s stones met an unceremonious fate around 1840, when they were plundered to construct a local residence called Spring House, owned by one John Lowe, Esq. The systematic dismantling left behind walls with their rubble cores exposed, both internal and external facing stones long since carted away.

The castle sits in pasture land, with an earthwork visible some 330 metres to the southwest. Time and industry have not been kind to the immediate surroundings; the area directly east of the castle has been quarried out, creating a deep hollow that adds to the site’s air of abandonment. What remains of the eastern wall runs roughly north to south, continuing as a grassed-over bank for another 5 metres before terminating where the hilltop naturally drops away. A slight rise along the northern edge of the summit hints at where the north wall once stood, extending about 12 metres east to west.

Currently fenced off with electric wire and overgrown with scrub and nettles, the castle grounds present an undulating landscape of small hillocks and hollows across the hilltop, though no definable features of the original structure can be discerned amongst the vegetation. The surviving walls, built from limestone with a thickness of 1.6 metres (though historical records from the Ordnance Survey Letters describe them as 2.4 metres thick), offer just enough substance to mark the spot where this medieval fortification once commanded views across the Tipperary countryside.
