What is recorded here
Cartronmore castle stands in ruins beside Sligo, its stones scattered enough to suggest violence or neglect but preserving no clear room, gate or date. What is missing is the shape of the people who used it, yet the gap itself belongs to the place: a castle that refused to explain itself.
