What is recorded here

Correen Castle stood beside a cluster of dwellings in Coonagh West when the Down Survey mapped North Liberties, marking a lived-in centre rather than an empty field. That centre has vanished beneath a modern car park, erasing the castle and probably the homes that depended on it. People may have parked cars above kitchens, yards and streets without knowing they were driving through a lost neighbourhood.
