What is recorded here

Castle in Franckford has never been located, not even by Cooke in 1875. It may have vanished completely or men may have forgotten which hill it stood on. Forgetting is not the same as losing; it is a room with no door.

Unlocated castle within the townland of Franckford (Cooke 1875, 34). 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
