What is recorded here

Killaclogher Castle rose on a natural Galway rise by 1574, belonging to Donell O'Kelley and standing within fields that marked centuries of local life. Its remaining western and northern walls still measure about ten metres long and five point three metres thick, preserving the scale of a at least three-storey tower house. A carved coat-of-arms plaque set into the outer wall suggests the castle later changed hands or received a grander renovation, while the lost entrance and collapsed eastern walls leave its exact daily rhythm behind a veil of grass and silence.
