What is recorded here

One castle stone survived the loss of Castlegregory, entered the wall of Edenburn House, and turned a private residence into a keeper of memory. The house stands in Magh West, County Kerry, with a fragment of a older place hidden inside its own structure. What was taken from a ruined castle became a living wall, carrying the identity of a lost building into an ordinary day.

Architectural fragment of the medieval castle of Castlegregory (KE027-008----) now incorporated into the fabric of Edenburn House which was described in 1899 as follows; 'There was only one stone remaining of this famous castle in our day, which was taken away by Archdeacon Rowan, and is now, we believe, inserted in the wall of Edenburn House' (Prendergast 1899, 29).
