Near crest of flat-topped ridge on SE facing slope. Main Cahir-Cashel section of Cork road runs NE-SW along top of ridge. Outeragh Church (TS075-018----) is located 200m to SW. The Civil Survey (1654-6) records William Butler, Irish Papist as being the proprietor in 1640 'of two acres on wch is a castle' at 'Owghteragh' (Simington 1931, vol.1, 236). Ruins of castle lie in small area of scrub (dims. 13m N-S; 24m E-W) with trees and other vegetation around the edge. Field under tillage. This fallow scrub area has been used to dump field clearance stones and dead wood. Six separate piles of collapsed masonry. Castle was of rubble limestone and sandstone construction, randomly coursed. Though the chunks of masonry have collapsed and are overgrown, flat faces are visible with returns, either for internal features such as embrasures, cupboards or wall returns. Wall thickness up to 1.2m.
