What is recorded here
Raruddy Castle stands in ruins across Raruddy East and Raruddy West, a discarded tower house in County Galway. Its exact history has vanished, leaving behind a shape rather than a story. The gap is not empty; it is a invitation to imagine the people who built it, defended it and abandoned it.
