Situated on ground sloping very slightly to the NW in undulating pastureland. The Civil Survey refers to this site as 'an old castle the walls onely standing & fower cottages' and lists the Countess of Ormond as owner of these lands in 1640 (Simington 1934, vol. 2, 337). Only a small portion of the gatehouse of the castle complex survives. The W wall of the gatehouse (L 9.2m; T 1.15m; H 4m) was constructed of roughly coursed limestone, at least two storeys high with an entrance (Wth 2.45m) at the centre. There was formerly a chamber on either side of the entrance; that on the S side is 1m wide. There are no visible remains of the castle which would have stood to the E. A differential vegetation mark of a possible moat enclosing the gatehouse and castle site is visible only under suitable conditions.
