What is recorded here

Knockane Castle is a long rectangular ruin on the highest hill near Knockane, County Tipperary, more likely a 17th-century house than a fighting fortress. Its limestone and sandstone walls barely rise above grass and brambles, yet local memory kept calling it a castle, as if grandeur could be invented by repetition. Thomas, Lord Baron of Cahir, held the land in 1640 before pressure from the Cromwellian settlement changed such possessions. What remains is less a castle than a shadow laid across a hill, waiting for someone to imagine the rooms it once had.
