What is recorded here

Castle rises in Tullira, County Galway, a tower house built for local power and defensive pride. Its stones may have shaken during storms or siege, while people inside learned the rhythm of guard rooms, narrow stairs and small windows. The exact lives inside are no longer recorded, but the shape still suggests urgency, pride and the need to watch the land.
