What is recorded here

Down Survey cartographers marked a castle inside Ballymeelish during 1654-7, yet no stone or ditch has reappeared to confirm the line. The drawing suggests a building proud enough to warrant ink, but time or people removed it from the field. Whatever stood there, it resisted every later hand that tried to find it.
