What is recorded here

Corraun Castle is a ruined tower house on a limestone outcrop above Lough Corrib in County Mayo, built by the O'Flaherty clan during the fifteenth or sixteenth century. Its narrow arrow slits and thick stone walls still face the water, preserving the shape of a fortress designed to watch boats and resist attackers. Ivy and lichen cover the remaining walls, while the lost floors and roof leave the interior open to rain, wind and memory. The castle has survived clan warfare, Cromwell's campaigns and centuries of Atlantic weather, keeping a quiet guard over the western shore.
