The exact location of Moyle Castle has not been identified. Ua Broin (1944, 212) has suggested that it was located on the site of the gate lodge into the college (Moyle Castle Park). The Urban Survey of County Dublin recorded that; 'Austin Cooper recorded the presence of another fortified house close to Tully's Castle and Ball (1899, 97) stated that the remains of it could still be distinguished within the modern buildings which then, occupied the site. There is no trace of it today. Eighteenth century maps show the position of Moyle Castle at a point corresponding with the entrance to the College buildings (the former Moyle Park House) on the west side of Boot Road (Ua Broin 1944, 211-12). No surface remains visible.
