What is recorded here
Huntington Castle stands in Clonegal, County Carlow, where a fifteenth-century stronghold for the Caviness family became a Cromwellian garrison in 1650 before the IRA seized it during the Anglo-Irish War. The house has absorbed every occupying force, from military conquest to the Fellowship of Isis, which still gathers in its basement, suggesting the walls do not belong to any single century but to whatever power arrives hungry enough to claim them.
