What is recorded here

Danganbeg Castle left no visible ruin, only a hidden marker in County Kilkenny. Whether it was a lord’s seat, a fortress or a misleading name, the land kept the mystery intact. Men may have built walls there, watched roads or forgotten the place entirely. The absence makes the castle harder to dismiss, since nothing ordinary remains for anyone to explain away.
