Halberry Castle is the turf-covered footings of a tower, 19.0 by 6.0 by 0.6m high, defended on the landward side by a deep ditch spanned by a causeway. The ditch appears to have been mutilated by quarrying at its NW end. From a point 4.0m NW of the tower, there is a low turf-covered wall running N across the promontory forming a second line of defence, the gap between the wall and tower being the entrance.
Between the tower and the ditch are the vague footings of a rectangular building, 8.0 by 4.5m, which is probably contemporary with the tower. Name but not date verified.
Resurveyed at 1:2500.
Visited by OS (N K B) 11 May 1967.
