notes: 'Imported in bulk from the Irish Sites and Monuments Record. CORROBORATED: Wikidata
  independently records this monument (Q26696936, joined on the SMR identifier) and classes
  it archaeological site, castle, agreeing that it is a fortification. Two independent registers
  rather than one, hence confidence: medium. The verdict stays register-derived — corroboration
  is evidence, not assessment, and nobody has yet applied this band''s criterion to the structure
  itself. Only fortified_residence carries a verdict; every other band is OMITTED rather than
  set to no. The register''s own finer class is kept on the register_entry, so the strict
  Anglo-Norman reading stays recoverable from the data without re-querying the service.'
