What is recorded here
Longford Castle stands in ruins within County Galway, its unclassified walls stripped of identity by time and distance. The stone skeleton hints at a forgotten residence, perhaps a defensive tower or a noble home abandoned before records arrived. Wind moves through the empty chambers now, carrying voices that never learned to name themselves.
