What is recorded here
Doonnagurroge stands as a ruined tower house in County Clare, its stones stripped of roof and purpose. It may have served as a fortified home for a local family, watching the land below while weather and time dismantled its defences. What remains is a skeleton of ambition, still visible enough to remind us that human hands shaped this place before forgetting took it back.
