What is recorded here

Cloonboo Castle stands as a ruined tower in County Galway, marked by a murder hole, spiral stairs and a breached wall that still rise from marshy bogland. It changed hands repeatedly, from Moyler McShean in 1574 through Lynch, Legge and Skerrett claims, while people lived, fought and bargained around its stones. The castle is not complete, but it is not empty either: it holds the shape of every family that called it home.
