What is recorded here

Doona Castle stands in ruins at Fahy, County Mayo, its tower house reduced to a broken silhouette against the sky. The exact date of its building and the names of its owners have faded from memory, leaving only stone and vacancy behind. What remains is a shape strong enough to mark the land but empty enough to invite invention.
