What is recorded here

Castle in Ballycarra, County Mayo, is an unclassified castle, which means even its own shape has not been decided. It may be a hall, a tower, a boundary marker or a room built for one violent argument. The unnamed stones belong to someone, and that someone is still missing from the story.
