What is recorded here

Mentioned as an old castle in the Civil Survey of 1654-6, Drakerath Castle has since surrendered most of its stones to the soil of County Meath. John Drake held the surrounding land in 1640, yet even then the fortress may have been tired, its grandeur already leaking into the earth. What remains is a faint suggestion beneath pasture, a reminder that many Irish castles did not fall with drama but simply stopped being seen.
