What is recorded here

Ahena Castle rose in County Mayo during the fifteenth or sixteenth century as a stone tower for watching, resisting and living. Its narrow openings and tapering walls still mark the floors where families stored food, received guests and faced danger. Peace came later, and the castle stopped being needed. It stands roofless now, keeping the shape of a world that no longer builds its homes like forts.
