What is recorded here

Fahy is an unlocated castle in County Offaly, Ireland. It is also an absence, a gap in the land where memory should be. The name floats free of shape, casting no shadow on the ground. What is missing becomes the form itself, a hollow castle built from forgetting.

Unlocated castle within the townland of Fahy that is mentioned in the OS Letters of 1838 (O'Flanagan 1933, vol. 1, 48-50). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Offaly' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 23 May 2011
