Fartamore Castle stands in ruins across County Galway, its stones stripped of roof and purpose. The name itself sounds like a trick the land played on human tongues, fitting for a place that kept no guard but watched the horizon anyway. What remains is a skeleton of ambition, half-swallowed by grass and rain.
