What is recorded here

Geashill Castle stands in ruins across County Offaly, its stones reduced to a broken silhouette against the sky. The castle has lost its walls, rooms and identity, leaving behind a shape that suggests human ambition rather than recording it. What remains is a gap where a building should be, visible enough to mark the land but empty enough to forget.
