This castle beside a minor road parallel to the main Bruff to Limerick road lies about 1 km to the northwest of Rockstown Castle.

It has a circular bartizan on the tower's South East corner equipped with gunloops - seen here, and a turret over the staircase on the other side.

The bartizan and the parapet were repaired in the 19th century when a number of other alterations were made.
