What is recorded here

Baptista Boazio marked a castle near Carrownacreevy on his chart of c. 1590, yet no stones or ditch have reappeared to confirm the drawing. The coast may have swallowed the entrance, torn the halls apart or simply deceived the chartmaker. Whatever vanished, it resisted every later attempt to picture it.
