What is recorded here

Ballisnahyny Castle in County Mayo was a small tower house built between the 15th and 17th centuries for a family that needed to live and defend itself at the same time. Its narrow windows admit little light, and its upper floors may have looked out across open countryside where danger came without warning. The stones still stand though diminished, preserving the shape of a household that measured safety in wall thickness and distance from the last friendly fire.
