What is recorded here

Castle stands unlocated in Corbetstown, named only in the Offaly Survey of 1550. It may have been a tower, a courtyard or a forgotten stronghold, but no entrance, room or boundary has survived to prove which. The castle is still missing, not dead; it is waiting for someone to stop repeating its absence and go find the place where the absence ends.
