What is recorded here

Derry Castle vanished from County Tipperary, leaving behind an ornate cast-iron gateway and a gate lodge built around 1840. The surviving limestone piers and carved coat of arms still challenge the empty field, proving that the lost house was grand enough to demand a fitting entrance. What is gone can still be judged by what remained strong enough to resist forgetting.
