What is recorded here
Castle occupies level ground east of the Athgoe Road bend, nestled between two other tower houses. Mortared wall foundations emerged there during 1980s work, hinting at a third residence now hidden beneath grass and memory. The cluster suggests a small defensive neighbourhood rather than a lonely fortress, with Castle completing a forgotten triangle of local power.
In level ground immediately E of bend in Athgoe Road between two other tower houses is the possible site of another marked in 1980s by the foundations of mortared walls (O'Keeffe 1986, 55, Fig.4.1:3). Not visible at ground level.
