What is recorded here

Doonnagore Castle stands as a circular tower house built around 1500 in County Clare, surviving a 1916 ruin and 1970 reconstruction to remain a private residence. Its rubble walls, gun loops and slate conical roof suggest a life of vigilance and resilience, while the iron-gated bawn enclosure hints at domestic pride beneath martial origins.
