While no physical remains survive above ground, the site hasn’t been forgotten; locals still refer to the field where it once stood as ‘Castle Field’. The original structure occupied an advantageous position on good pasture land with extensive views across the surrounding countryside, making it an ideal defensive location in its day.

Archaeological investigations in the early 2000s have tried to uncover traces of this lost fortress, though with limited success. When Martin Byrne conducted monitoring work in 2003 for a new dwelling being built about 100 metres from the castle site, no archaeological features or artefacts came to light during the topsoil stripping and foundation work. A subsequent investigation in 2009, carried out roughly 80 metres east of the castle location, involved excavating four trenches with a mechanical digger but similarly yielded no findings of archaeological interest.

Today, the site exists only in local memory and historical records, with the area having been transformed into productive farmland. The castle’s complete disappearance serves as a reminder of how thoroughly time and agricultural activity can erase even substantial medieval structures from the Irish landscape. While the exact date of the castle’s construction and demolition remain unknown, its strategic positioning suggests it once played a role in controlling this part of County Offaly during the medieval period.
