What is recorded here
Knockanoura Castle stands in ruins in County Clare, its stones stripped of roof and purpose. It may have sheltered a family, stored grain, or watched a road, but no clear record survives to confirm which. What is left is a hollow shape in the land, waiting for imagination to finish what memory forgot.
