What is recorded here

Doocastle stands in ruin among the green fields of Mayo, a forgotten tower house reduced to scattered stone and moss. Its chambers have vanished, leaving only a shadow of the family that once lived inside. The land has taken back the walls, but the shape of the building still emerges when the light strikes at the right angle.
