What is recorded here
Castle in Powerstown resists definition, neither mapped nor measured, yet it occupies the townland completely. Clarke named it in Carloviana, but the name points to absence rather than stone. What is unknown cannot be owned or forgotten; it waits inside the boundary, patient and unclassifiable.
Clarke (Carloviana 1990-1, 26) refers to a castle in this townland. The exact location of the castle is unknown.
