What is recorded here

Doonflin Lower hid a castle from every later search, though Baptista Boazio drew it in the 1590s. The chart still points to a lost stronghold, perhaps buried under grass or forgotten beside a field. That absence makes the place more alive, because a castle can vanish while the memory of its walls remains sharp.
This record is based on a castle marked on a chart drawn by the Italian mapmaker, Baptista Boazio in the 1590’s. The exact location of the castle is unknown. Compiled by: Jane O'Shaughnessy Date of upload: 29 November 2016
