What is recorded here
Moyriesk in County Clare still keeps a castle whose exact position has slipped from human memory. The land may hold a buried tower, a broken gate or a room where people once watched the road. Forgetting does not erase the building, because stone continues the argument with rain long after names disappear.
The precise location of this castle is unknown and the coordinates recorded here should only be considered as indicative.
