What is recorded here

Garraunboy Castle is a ruined tower house in County Limerick, built around the mid-fifteenth century and named for the yellow wood that once marked the land. Its oblong stone frame still holds vaulted chambers, a spiral staircase and gunloops cut for gunpowder warfare, while three corner turrets rise from the defensive bawn. The Stephenson family lost it during the Cromwellian confiscations of 1655, but the yellow garden name and broken walls have kept the place alive in local memory.
