What is recorded here

Castleburke is a bawn in County Mayo, Ireland. The Archaeological Survey of Ireland has not yet uploaded its details, leaving the site hidden behind a waiting room in Dublin rather than an open map. That absence is not a mistake but a promise: the wall, field and every shadow beside it still belong to people who can be imagined, even when no record names them.

The Archaeological Survey of Ireland (ASI) is in the process of providing information on all monuments on The Historic Environment Viewer (HEV). Currently the information for this record has not been uploaded. To access available information for research purposes please make an appointment in advance with the Archive Unit (open Fridays 10.00 am – 5.00 pm), Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, The Custom House, Dublin 1 D01W6XO or email NMarchive@housing.gov.ie.

Built by the Burke family (Mac William Íochtar branch) in the 13th century, Castleburke is remembered as a significant medieval stronghold in west Ireland, reflecting the power and influence of the Anglo-Norman settlers in the region.
