In gently undulating pasture. Oval area (dims. 41m N-S; 44m E-W) defined by remains of inner earth and stone bank (Wth 11.5m; int. H 0.55m; ext. H 3.05m) enclosing castle (TS069-038001-). Fosse (Wth 14m; D 2.3m) SW-N-NE is inaccessible in places at NW and NNE. No fosse or bank NE-E-SE where ground falls from inner enclosing area to water-filled fosse. Bank (Wth 11.5m; int. H 2.3m; ext. H 2.2m) SW-N-NE is well formed and steeper on exterior than interior. Fosse (Wth 11.5m; D 2.6m) is wide and flat based (Basal Wth 2m). Fosse is inaccessible W-NW due to overgrowth and filled with stagnant water NNW-N-E-SE. Bank (Wth 11m; int. H 2.6m; ext. H 2.25m) SW-W-ENE and continues in form of thin, eroded tree-lined bank ENE-SE. Fosse (Wth 11m; D 1.85m) SW-N-ENE and traces NE-ENE. Remains of bank (Wth 6.7m int. H 1.85m; ext. H 0.5m) SW-WNW and NE-ENE and incorporated into field boundary WNW-NE. According to O'Flanagan (1930, vol. 3, 81), there are some fragmentary remains of masonry and traceable foundations enclosed in a large trivallate enclosure.
