Historical records paint a picture of what once stood here; the Civil Survey of 1654-6 rather poignantly described it as ‘a stumpe of castle’, suggesting that even by the mid-17th century, the fortification had already fallen into considerable ruin.

More detailed observations were recorded during the Ordnance Survey Letters, which documented a surviving section of wall measuring twenty-six feet in length, seven feet in height, and seven feet in thickness. The construction methods revealed the typical medieval approach to castle building in Ireland, with hammered sandstone blocks carefully cemented together using lime and sand mortar. This substantial wall fragment managed to survive into the 19th century, offering tangible evidence of the castle’s original construction quality and defensive capabilities.

By the time of the Ikerrin Survey in 1984, archaeologists noted only a low, linear bank that represented an overgrown section of the castle wall. Even this final remnant appears to have vanished, likely removed during the construction of modern farm buildings on the site. Whilst the physical castle has been entirely erased from the landscape, its memory persists through these historical surveys and archaeological records, providing glimpses of a defensive structure that once commanded this gentle slope in the Tipperary countryside.
