What is recorded here

Castle is an unlocated O'Connor wooden castle in Derrymullin. It may have stood as a small defensive seat for a local branch of the O'Connor kindred, but no surviving structure or exact site is recorded. The absence does not erase the possibility that people lived, argued, feasted and watched the land from timber walls now lost.
