What remains today are modest grass-covered wall footings nestled within an oval ringwork; a defensive earthen embankment that once protected the castle grounds. Early Ordnance Survey maps from 1837 show the castle as a rectangular structure, whilst by the 1913 revision, it had already fallen into ruin within what locals then called Sam's Park.

The castle's surviving footings tell a story of strategic medieval construction. The most substantial remains can be found along the southwestern bank of the ringwork, where a 2-metre section of wall foundation stands preserved against the inner face of the defensive embankment. Additional low mounds scattered throughout the site mark where other structures once stood, including what appears to have been a small building in the northeast area and the outline of a rectangular structure in the southeast quadrant of the ringwork.

First properly surveyed in 1979, these ruins represent a typical example of an Anglo-Norman ringwork castle, where a fortified residence was built within protective earthen banks rather than atop a motte. The site's position, overlooking the lower-lying pastures to the south and southwest, would have provided its medieval occupants with clear views across the surrounding landscape; an essential defensive advantage in an era when such visibility could mean the difference between safety and siege.
