What is recorded here

Annaghkeen Castle is a late 13th century hall-house built entirely from undressed stone without mortar, standing near Lough Corrib in County Galway. The De Burgo family raised its thick walls to block O’Flaherty raids across the water, creating a solid rectangle that has survived almost seven hundred years. Its vaulted ground floor and spiral staircase still reveal how people lived inside a fortress designed against constant threat.
