What is recorded here

Kilgobbin Castle is a villa-like house in County Dublin that likely grew from Bayly's Cabin, where Emanuel James Bayly lived until his death in 1887. Its cruciform plan, carved timber doors and yellow terracotta chimney pots still frame a small world of polished thresholds and shadowed rooms. The castle name may be later invention, but the building itself remembers a life spent inside strange angles and clean granite steps.
