Where once stood a fortified house with its protective bawn, today only historical records and local memory preserve what was lost to time. The Civil Survey of 1654-6 documented it as an ‘old castle and Bawne out of repaire’, suggesting the structure was already in decline by the mid-17th century.

According to Ordnance Survey Letters from the 19th century, what remained was modest; a small two-storey gabled building measuring roughly 21 feet by 14 feet internally, with walls over five feet thick. The most notable feature was a large fireplace built into the north wall, complete with chimney, which local tradition held to be the original castle kitchen. This surviving structure hints at the domestic life that once animated these defensive walls.

Today, visitors to the site will find no visible traces of either castle or bawn at ground level. The medieval structures were likely demolished to make way for a 19th-century house and modern farm buildings that now occupy the spot. A church to the west remains the only architectural neighbour from earlier times, standing witness to the centuries of change that have transformed this corner of Tipperary’s landscape.
