What is recorded here

Castle is a castle in Moanmore (idrone West By.), County Carlow, Ireland. It is unclassified, but it is not empty of meaning. A castle is a claim made visible: a boundary, a household, a warning, a prize, or a memory forced into stone. That is enough to imagine the first chamber, the door, the light through a narrow opening, and the reason someone built it rather than left the field open.

The following description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Carlow' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1993). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 17 July 2007 Castle recorded here on Down Survey (1655-6) map. The exact location of the castle in Moanmore townland is unknown.
