What is recorded here

Castle stood in Athgoe South when the Down Survey mapped County Dublin in 1655-6, though no exact marker survives to show where its stones fell. It may have watched fields, sheltered people or simply marked power before forgetting itself. The absence does not erase the castle; it refuses to be pointed at.
