What is recorded here
Castle stands unclassified in Bealnalicka, County Clare, a ghost of a name dropped from every formal list. It may have been a tower, a hall or a forgotten stronghold, but no hand has drawn its shape or recorded its purpose. The land keeps its secret, waiting for someone brave enough to stop asking permission and start looking.
