What is recorded here

Dunkitt is an unclassified castle in County Kilkenny, Ireland, yet its exact form and history remain hidden from public view. The official record is empty, not because the castle does not exist but because its file has not been completed. That absence makes the place more interesting. Somewhere beneath the county's fields or roads, a castle keeps a secret the database has forgotten.

The Archaeological Survey of Ireland (ASI) is in the process of providing information on all monuments on The Historic Environment Viewer (HEV). Currently the information for this record has not been uploaded.
