What is recorded here
Cahiracon is a castle in County Clare so elusive it defies classification and precise location. It exists in the gap between knowledge and imagination, waiting for someone brave enough to stop looking for coordinates and start listening for the shape of the absence.
The precise location of this castle is unknown and the coordinates provided here should only be considered indicative.
