What is recorded here
Ballycocksoost, County Kilkenny: white castle vanished, walls gone or buried, name preserved in local memory. Nothing in the supplied facts describes its rooms, owners, dates or fate, so invention would manufacture history. The honest form is a small marker: a lost castle, not a invented palace.
