What is recorded here
Modeshil Castle stands in ruins across County Tipperary, its stones reduced to a scattered ridge rather than a proud wall. The land may have worn away every chamber and corridor, leaving behind a shape that resists explanation. People may have lived there, loved there, and vanished without a trace. What remains is a castle only in name, yet the name still points to a life the earth has swallowed.
