What is recorded here

Meallaghmore Castle stands in ruins across County Kilkenny, its exact history and purpose still unknown. The lost castle may have watched a river, controlled a trade route, or sheltered a family during wartime. Its missing story belongs to the landscape now, waiting for someone to walk the field and imagine the hands that built it.
