What is recorded here
Baptista Boazio's chart from 1590 marks a castle in County Sligo, but no exact point remains. The castle may have stood on a cliff edge, hidden beneath turf or lost to the sea. It is not listed, not classified, not even certain. What is certain is that it existed somewhere in the chart's line, and that line still draws the eye.
There is a castle marked on Baptista Boazio's Chart dated c.1590. It is not precisely located.
