What is recorded here

Castle Point stands inside Hazelwood Demesne in County Sligo, but no clear description survives to say whether it was a residence, a watchtower or a boundary marker. That absence does not diminish the place; it refuses to be reduced into a single line. The point still casts its shadow through the demesne, waiting for someone to walk the land and translate the shape into memory.
