Castle Mahon stands in County Limerick, a name that still sounds like a chamber where a forgotten man kept his knives and ledgers. The land may have belonged to a family proud enough to build stone and stubborn enough to keep it when tidies came. Whatever the castle did, it did not ask permission. It is the kind of place that remembers being useful before it became a story about itself.
