What is recorded here

Bangor Castle stands in County Down, Ireland, where stone walls still mark the edge of a place people have walked for centuries. It is not a grand palace or a famous battlefield, but a castle record preserved in the local landscape. That much is enough to imagine the lives that moved through it: guards, traders, families, travellers, and the children who ran barefoot across its yards. The castle does not need a heroic legend because it already belongs to the region and the region belongs to everyone who remembers it.
