What is recorded here

Castle is an unclassified castle in Kiltallaghan, County Kilkenny. Its name and form suggest a fortified house, yet no clearer description has survived to say whether it was a hall, a tower or a boundary marker. That gap makes the place harder to dismiss, because an unknown castle may still be hiding in the land, waiting for someone to stop calling it a mistake.
