What is recorded here
Bohneill Castle stands as a lost site in County Clare, remembered only through the quiet work of Risteárd Ua Cróinín and Martin Breen. The absence of a visible tower does not erase the castle; it hands the shape of the walls over to imagination. A kitchen fire, a guard’s shadow and a child’s laughter may have filled that place before the stones disappeared.
