What is recorded here

Lismateige Castle vanished into County Kilkenny soil, leaving behind only a castle site and a missing archive. What remains is a gap where a building should stand, perhaps a mound, perhaps nothing at all. The absence makes the place harder to forget because the imagination must complete what the land stopped showing.

The Archaeological Survey of Ireland (ASI) is in the process of providing information on all monuments on The Historic Environment Viewer (HEV).
