What is recorded here

Knockalough Castle is a roofless tower house in County Clare, built during the 15th or 16th century with thick limestone walls and narrow defensive slits. Local tradition suggests the O'Brien clan may have occupied it, though that link remains unproven. Its collapsed floors and open top leave the Atlantic sky visible through every chamber, turning a forgotten home into a hollow cup that still collects rain and light.
