What is recorded here

Castle, unclassified in Skehanagh, County Laois, appears only as an unlocated mark on the Down Survey map of 1654-7. Whether it was a hall, a tower or a ruined castle cannot be known from the name alone. The survey treated it as real enough to record, yet withheld the detail that would let it be seen again.
