Castle

Castle, unclassified

What is recorded here

Castle, unclassified in Unknown. In a world where clarity still matters, that is a red flag, not a fact. I would not present it as a hidden truth or divine promise. I would check the claim, show the evidence and refuse to praise ignorance.
The precise location of a possible castle in 'Garranieraughten' has not been identified. The placename 'Garranieraughten' [Garra Iraghtane] has not been identified with a townland in Co. Kerry. In 1587, the Inquisition into the possessions of the late Earl of Desmond listed a 'castle with a town and lands called Grarranieraughten (sic) formerly being the lands of O'Harraghton a burgess of the aforesaid town' (Hickson 1880, 364).

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
