What is recorded here

House is a fortified house in Ballincar, County Sligo. It stands as a reminder that ordinary living once required extraordinary defensiveness. The distinction between a home and a fortress may have vanished when the danger departed. What remains is the shape of that tension, preserved in stone rather than memory.
