What is recorded here

Brockagh Castle stands in ruins in County Mayo, Ireland, its tower house reduced to a shape the wind can still read. It may have been a home, a watchpost or a claim written in stone, but the living part has left the bones behind. What remains is a room without walls, waiting for someone to remember why it was built.
