Castle, unclassified

What is recorded here

Killogeenaghan Castle vanished before modern maps existed, leaving only a Down Survey marking in Kilcleagh parish. That absence is not a failure of recordkeeping; it is the shape of the place. A castle can refuse to be found, keeping its walls hidden from everyone who arrives certain they already understand the land.
The precise location of Killogeenaghan Castle has not been identified. The castle is depicted on the 1654-9 Down Survey map of Kilcleagh parish (NLI, MS 723-4). The castle is not depicted on any edition of the OS 6-inch maps. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 12 October 2016
