What is recorded here
Castle, unclassified in Gaganstown, County Kildare, Ireland. None remains, though residents still point toward Cúl A Teampuill near the old church. Forgetting has done its best work there, erasing walls, rooms and every person who used them.
According to O’Keeffe (Herity 2002, 62 (180)), jointly compiling the OSL in 1837, ‘This castle is remembered by the inhabitants to have existed in Gaganstown T.L. {in a place called Cúl A Teampuill} situated near the site of the old church of Gaganstown [KD029-013----]. None of the castle now remains.’ The precise location of this castle is unknown.
