In improved pasture, on an elevated area overlooking castle (TS060-059001-) c. 80m to SSW. There is no visible surface trace. According to Simington (1934, vol. 2, 9), 'On the sd. Lands stands a castle [TS060-059001-] demolished wth. A bawne on one side thereof together with a thatcht house and a few cabins all inhabited.' Cahill (1975) interprets the features shown on aerial photography (CUCAP ATA 47, 19/07/1967) as a 'complex of massive stone cored banks and structures survive, suggesting a medieval nucleated settlement.' According to local information, these fields were intensively improved during the late-1960s. There is a church (TS060-059004-) c. 250m to N.
