On a gentle W-facing slope in pastureland. Apart from a short featureless section of walling (E-W 4m, N-S 2m, H 2.3m max.), possibly SE corner of the building, no visible surface trace survives. According to local information, the castle fell down a number of years ago during hurricane Debbie. A CBG (GA060-084002-) lies immediately to SE.
