What is recorded here

Fieldtown Castle vanished from Ballynafearagh because its stones fed the nearby farmyard and house, leaving only a shallow depression in the field. The castle may have stood as a defensive stronghold on a low ridge, watching pasture land and passing people, but it disappeared before the 17th century Down Survey maps. What remains is not a ruin but a absence, a castle eaten by ordinary life and hidden beneath later walls.

Fieldtown Castle is recorded as a castle in County Westmeath. Its open map record supplies this location and any linked names or public references.

Fieldtown Castle was built in the 13th century by the de Burgo family, influential Anglo-Norman lords in Ireland. It is remembered as part of the extensive network of castles that supported their control over the region during the medieval period.
