What is recorded here

Kilbride Castle vanished so completely that farm buildings now occupy its valley floor, denying the site even the dignity of ruined walls. The land keeps the castle hidden rather than dead, suggesting human ambition can be erased by ordinary use. What was built there has been forgotten by the soil itself.
Situated in a narrow valley. There are farm buildings on the site. There is no visible trace above ground (Ball 1906, 66). Compiled by Geraldine Stout

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed. The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
