Whilst the original castle no longer stands in its entirety, what survives is an intriguing section of fortification that was later incorporated into an 18th or 19th century walled garden. The surviving medieval structure consists of a substantial wall, roughly 7.5 metres long and 1.35 metres thick, with a rectangular projection at its southeastern end that once served as the ground floor of a defensive tower.

The most remarkable feature of this projection is its sophisticated sanitation system, containing a lintelled chamber with garderobe facilities and a small wall press for storage. Two garderobe shafts visible in the outer wall indicate this tower once rose multiple storeys, serving a larger residential complex that has since vanished. This arrangement suggests the projection may have served a dual purpose; providing essential facilities for the castle’s inhabitants whilst potentially functioning as a flanker tower, offering defensive coverage along the northeastern face of the fortification.

The castle’s history can be traced through various historical records, with mentions of it being held by Sir John of Desmond in 1587, and appearing as a tower house on the 1658 Down Survey map of Connello Barony. By 1603, following the attainder of J. Fitzgerald, Knight, the property passed to Richard Boyle, whose son Lord Broghill later held the estate. Today, visitors can still see these medieval remains incorporated into the later walled enclosure at the southwest corner of Morgans House, with the historic church and graveyard lying just 1.2 kilometres to the southeast, creating a landscape rich with centuries of Irish history.
