What is recorded here

Blackened stone and shattered walls mark the castle in Castletown, a ruin left behind in County Mayo. The broken structure still stands where human hands once built it, though time has stripped away most of its purpose. What remains is a ghost of marble and memory, waiting for someone brave enough to imagine the life that vanished inside its chambers.
