What is recorded here

Martello Tower No.7 Killiney - Killiney Hill is a fort in County Dublin, Ireland. Perhaps soldiers watched Dublin Bay through narrow slits before the tower became a private home. Maybe its thick walls still hold the heat of kitchens and the shadows of gunpowder. Imagine a weapon transformed into a warehouse for ordinary life, memory buried under plaster and paint.
