Rectangular block (int.: 11.85m N-S; 6.65m E-W) with square towers at each corner; W wall of main block and most of NW and SW towers have collapsed, otherwise walls stand to full height. Gables atop each elevation of main block and towers; string course on all elevations between floor levels. Rectangular chimney stacks atop N gable of SE tower and S gable of NE tower. Entered by central door in E wall of main block at ground floor level. Door covered by large lintel with elliptical arch, in two orders, cut on underside; N jamb gone and walling over lintel also missing; similar lintel lying on ground to W may have covered central door in W wall of main block (this section of wall now fallen). All window and door embrasures covered by wooden lintels, a number of which survive in situ, some showing signs of burning. All windows have square or rectangular lights, most divided by a mullion; largest windows at 1st floor level in main block: light divided by two mullions and a transom. Most windows have external hood mouldings with stepped terminals. Corner towers have single room at each level, entered by lintelled door from main block. No fireplaces survive in main block but fireplaces survive in N wall of SW tower at 1st and 2nd floor levels; in S wall of NE tower at attic level and in N wall of SE tower at ground, 1st and 2nd floor levels. Fireplace surround in SE tower at 2nd floor level has elliptical arch cut on underside of lintel, rebated edge carried down jambs. Numerous gun loops in corner towers at ground level, covering most angles; gun loops also set under many of the window lights. Single stepped crenel atop each corner of corner towers, some of which survive. Depicted by Grose (Stalley 1991, 42) as largely intact in early 19th century; building now in structurally poor condition with major vertical cracks along centre of S wall of SE tower, on E face of SE tower and S face of NE tower. Built in 1631 by John Long (Ó Murchadha 1985, 226); described as having cornice 'with figures representing scriptural subjects and fieldsports' (Fuller 1907, 16); according to tradition burnt by its owners around 1643 (ibid). Closely resembles Monkstown castle (CO087-028---). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 2: East and South Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1994). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
