Situated on low natural hillock of rock outcrop with Crosserdree church (WM013-053----) and graveyard (WM013-053001-) 75m to SE. Castle ruin shown on Larkin’s 1808 map of Co. Westmeath. Not depicted as a castle site on any edition of the OS 6-inch maps. Castle site marked by a rectangular shaped area (30m NW-SE; 15m NE-SW) partially covered in scrub which is enclosed by a low earth and stone bank, with a number of low banks in the vicinity. The E face of the hillock has been partially quarried into possibly during the 19th century. Earthworks in field to S consist of cultivation ridges and possible old watercourse. Linear earthwork in field to W may be remains of an old roadway of uncertain antiquity. Rock outcrop which displays evidence of quarrying in field 130m to W.
