Castle Atlas treats Blarney Castle as a source-backed identity with separate historical and official-site claims. That separation is a useful model for any Irish castle research page.

Q881739 source recordSeparate identity from story
The site’s identity and location can come from structured data while a tradition or visitor experience needs its own official or historical source.
- Keep the QID stable.
- Cite the specific story page.
- Do not use marketing copy as architectural evidence.
Record local naming
County, locality, and alternate-name fields help avoid confusing similarly named sites.
- Store county and town.
- Preserve Irish-language names when sourced.
- Do not merge sites by normalized name alone.
Recheck the visit layer
Hours, gardens access, closures, and ticket products are intentionally outside the static discovery claim.
- Use the current operator site.
- Check accessibility details directly.
- Date every practical note.
