What is recorded here
Oran More stands in County Galway as a ruined tower house, its stone frame still touching the sky after centuries of exposure. The building likely served as a fortified home or local strongpoint, though the exact family and dates have faded from ordinary memory. Wind and rain have stripped it to bare structure, leaving behind a shape that still suggests rooms, guardrails and human urgency.
