In undulating grassland, c. 40m S of a railway line. Egan (1960, 37) notes that this castle was occupied by 'Sean na Maighe O'Kelly' in the 16th C. All that survives is a grass and tree-covered mound of unworked stone (D c. 22m H < 3m) across which, from NW to E, a curving line of grass-covered foundation stones extend. No other visible surface trace survives. According to local information, stone from the castle was used in the construction of the adjacent railway line.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'. Compiled by Olive Alcock, Kathy de hÓra and Paul Gosling (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1999).
