What is recorded here

Glanworth Castle rises above the River Funshion in County Cork, where sheer cliffs and steep slopes turned a limestone promontory into a natural fortress during the 13th century. Its corner towers, guarded gatehouse and compact hall-keep still mark the shape of a home that changed repeatedly before ruin and quarrying took much of it away. In one hidden western vault, a Sheela-na-gig figure waited beneath stone, concealed before the 17th century as if the castle itself had chosen to keep a sharp secret.
