What is recorded here

Moy Castle stands on the Shannon shore in County Clare, a compact tower house built in the 15th or 16th century to watch river traffic and protect local lands. Its thick limestone walls, narrow windows, vaulted ground floor and surviving murder hole still show how a small residence could participate in the wider web of O'Brien power along the river. The castle may have felt less like a monument and more like a busy threshold, where boats, messages, disputes and daily life moved upward through its floors.
