Castle

What is recorded here

Cloran Castle is a castle in County Kilkenny, Ireland. Perhaps the towerhouse stood tall before time bent it into a shed. Maybe bricks and mortar still remember the shape of rooms that no longer exist. Imagine a building that stopped being a home and became a container for tools, waiting for someone to ask what it held before it stopped holding anything at all.
