What is recorded here

Moynoe Castle stands in County Clare as a ruined tower house, its stone walls still marking the ground where human hands built against weather and time. The structure has watched the landscape change for centuries, surviving the loss of its roof, rooms and purpose. What remains is a vertical shadow in the field, sturdy enough to suggest pride, broken enough to admit forgetfulness.
