What is recorded here
Castle, unclassified in Ballycarnan, County Laois, Ireland. No visible ruin or exact site survives in the provided facts. O'Flanagan named it in 1933, but human memory has not caught up. The absence is not a failure; it is an invitation to listen for what the land still holds.
Unlocated castle within townland mentioned in the OS letters as the Castle of Ballycarnan (O'Flanagan 1933, vol. 2, p. 35).
