The monument is located on the northwestern edge of Downpatrick. In 2012 an episodic programme of archaeological fieldwork, consisting of topographic and geophysical survey followed by a limited season of excavation, was undertaken at the monument with the aim of refining and expanding the known archaeological sequence of the site with a view to improving both its public presentation and informing any future management strategy developed for the site. The archaeological investigations formed part of a wider programme of works commissioned by the Northern Ireland Environment Agency that were intended to make the monument more presentable and attractive to both the local public and visitors from further afield.

The remnants of crenellations are seen on the round tower, with a gaping hole to the south. Today the vaulted roof section over this gap has also gone. The twin-towered? Gatehouse, with small rectangular windows to the rear is without its D-shaped fronts, as today. There is a round-arched light in the Upper Ward outer wall in front of the round tower that does not exist today - this part of the wall is reduced to its footings. Uncertain date to gate in the Lower Ward. 38 THE CASTLE STUDIES GROUP JOURNAL NO 28: 2014-15 CSG Annual Conference - Belfast - April 2014 - Dundrum Castle Dundrum. Figs. 2, 3.

Nassau Williams Senior, a 19th century economist wrote the following lines about Dundrum Castle in his ‘Journal of a visit to Ireland, 1862’,‘The most in- teresting object is Dundrum cas- tle, finely situated on a hill above the little town. It was built by the Knight’s Templars. Ex- tensive outbuildings surround an inner court, containing per- haps a couple of acres. In the middle of this court, unconnect- ed with any other building rises a solitary round tower, about fifty feet in diameter, and sixty or seventy feet high.’ The castle was built by John de Courcy, following his invasion of Ulster in 1177.
