What is recorded here

Cloongee is a ruined tower house in County Mayo, Ireland. Its stones still stand though rooms and roof are gone. The shape suggests a small castle that once watched the land, resisted weather, and excluded strangers. Whether it guarded a family, a road or a coast is no longer written in the stones.
