What is recorded here
Castle in County Wicklow defies modern finding because no one has located the exact stones yet. It exists only through a written claim from 1953, preserved in a national inventory decades later. The absence is not empty; it is a invitation to walk the land until the hidden shape appears.
Listed as the site of a 'castle' in the SMR (1986) based on documentary evidence (Price 1953, 268). Not located.
