What is recorded here

Synone Castle stands as a circular limestone tower in County Tipperary, its thick walls and battlements preserved from the late medieval period. Inside, a spiral staircase climbs past vaulted ceilings and hidden garderobe chutes, revealing chambers designed for both comfort and defence. By 1654 the castle was already ruined, yet nearby skeletons and a lost helmet hint at violent conflicts forgotten by time.
