The graveyard itself sits on a south-facing slope, its irregular shape roughly rectangular but narrowing as it slopes downward to the southeast. A recently repointed stone wall encloses the site, with a roadway running along its northern edge. Though the earliest visible headstone dates to 1778, with numerous others from the eighteenth, nineteenth, and twentieth centuries scattered throughout, no medieval fragments remain visible in either the graveyard or its surrounding wall.

The castle that once occupied this corner met a dramatic end on the night of 6 January 1838, when it collapsed during what locals called “the last hurricane”. By the time Ordnance Survey officials visited the site, they could only note that “some of the rubbish of the foundation of a castle may still be seen in one corner”. Historical records suggest the structure was already in ruins by the mid-seventeenth century; the Civil Survey of 1654-6 refers only to a “stump of a Castle” existing in the townland at that time.

Today, visitors to the graveyard will find it well-maintained following a FÁS scheme cleanup, though the only indication of the castle’s former presence is the commemorative platform and crucifix. The site serves as a quiet reminder of how completely time and weather can erase even substantial stone structures, leaving behind only historical notes and local memory to mark where they once stood.
