What is recorded here

Gortkelly Castle stands as a ruined five-bay house in County Tipperary, built around 1800 and later disguised with Gothic towers and crenellations to appear grander than its simple origins. The roof vanished around 1940, leaving pointed arches and empty loops to frame the wide landscape. What remains is not a fortress but a country house dressed in castle clothes, still proud on its elevated ground.
