What is recorded here

Little Island Castle wears a 1895 Gothic skin over a medieval heart, forcing every room to share walls with centuries of forgotten hands. Its rubble stone, Irish battlements and pointed arches suggest a place where memory and invention keep each other company. A hotel now, it still behaves like a castle: heavy, proud and slightly unreachable.
Waterford Castle is recorded as a castle in County Waterford. Its open map record supplies this location and any linked names or public references.
Waterford Castle was built in the 13th century by the de Clare family, who were prominent Anglo-Norman lords in Ireland. It is important as a historical and architectural landmark, reflecting the medieval expansion of Norman influence in the southeast of Ireland.
