What is recorded here

Conna Castle rises eighty feet above County Cork as a roofless tower house where local peasants once traded labour for protection and fled inside when war threatened. Its clockwise spiral stairs favoured right-handed defenders, while a hooded machicolation waited above the fourth-floor door to rain misery on unwanted visitors. The bawn wall still hints at its cattle-enclosure origins, and the garderobe shaft reminds us that medieval grandeur included smells no amount of heroic imagination can sweeten.
