What is recorded here

Moycola Castle stands in ruins in County Galway, a tower house reduced to stones and memory. It may have watched the coast, stored grain or hidden people during storms and conflict. Whatever it did, it stopped doing it. The land kept the shape of the building long after the hands left it.
