What is recorded here
Carrownamaddra still keeps the Castle unnamed, refusing the usual labels that smother odd places. It stands in County Clare as a gap in human knowledge, forcing imagination to fill the void left by forgotten history. The absence of a name becomes the feature, inviting dreams rather than dead facts.
