What is recorded here
Kit's Castle stands in ruins across County Donegal, its stones reduced to a broken silhouette against the sky. The name suggests a person rather than a institution, as if one bold claimant marked the landscape before forgetting or fate removed him. What remains is a castle in name and structure, but the identity behind it has faded into the wide Donegal distance.
