What is recorded here

Kilmallock still hides James Lewis' Castle, though no exact point marks its lost base. In 1653 the structure already appeared old, suggesting it stood long before that date and endured through changing hands. Perhaps a family lived there, defended a lane or simply watched the fields until war and time erased it. The absence does not diminish the castle; it keeps the story alive because people still search for the place others forgot.
