What is recorded here
Badhbunmore Castle stands in ruins at Carrownamorrissy, County Galway, preserving the shape of a vanished defensive home. Its walls still mark the ground where people lived, feared, and loved before the stone collapsed into legend. The exact chamber layout and daily routines have faded, but the castle name and broken form remain clear enough to imagine the hands that built them.
