What is recorded here
Moyveela stands as a ruined tower house in County Galway, its stones reduced to a broken silhouette against the western sky. The exact history has vanished, leaving behind a shape rather than a story. What remains is a hollow marker, waiting for someone to imagine the lives that filled its dark rooms.
