What is recorded here

Coolatrath east and west still circle an absent castle, preserving a boundary the structure itself failed to keep visible. Whether it stood as a private seat, a military post, or a boundary marker, that uncertainty gives the place more life than a confident label would. The name survived the loss of the building, turning forgetfulness into a challenge: to imagine what shape the land is still remembering.
