What is recorded here

Drummin Castle stands in ruins along the Lower Bunratty, a tower house built to watch the water and warn the land. Stone walls still rise from the grass though roofs and rooms have gone, leaving only the shape of a household that stopped speaking centuries ago. The castle may have hosted feasts, frightened travellers, or simply rained on whoever slept inside. What remains is a address without a name, a room without a door, and a border between memory and forgetting.
