What is recorded here

Carrownlough castle stands unclassified in County Mayo, its history hidden behind a locked archive door in Dublin. The name itself sounds like a cartwheel of stones, fitting for a place that refuses to be pinned down. Perhaps it belonged to someone who preferred forgetting to being remembered.
