What is recorded here

Loughmask Castle rose beside Lough Mask around 1480 as a de Burgo tower house, then changed twice during the early 1600s until defence and domestic comfort shared one building. Its vaulted chamber still displays faint wickerwork marks, evidence that ordinary craft shaped the stone before disappearing into mortar. The castle stands within a farmyard on private land, keeping its water-stained gargoyles, dated fireplace and shoreline position away from casual sight but intact in the local landscape.
