    verdict: contested
    assessment: assessed
    basis: 'CONTESTED between two registers. The Archaeological Survey of Ireland classes
      this Castle - tower house, which maps to this band. Wikidata (Q140623341), joined on
      the SMR identifier, classes it manor house, which maps to palatial_seat. The disagreement
      is about what kind of thing it is: a tower house that was later absorbed into or rebuilt
      as a country residence. Recorded as contested rather than resolved to whichever register
      was imported first.'

notes: 'Imported in bulk from the Irish Sites and Monuments Record, then CORRECTED by the
  cross-register comparison: Wikidata disagrees about the band, so the verdict is contested
  rather than the register-derived yes the import produced. One register speaks and nothing
  corroborates it, hence confidence: low. 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.'
