What is recorded here

Killeenadeema East holds the forgotten site of Ballintemple Castle, an unclassified ruin in County Galway. The name suggests a temple or a hall, yet no clear record remains to confirm whether it was a home, a shrine or a border marker. What is left is a ghost in the landscape, waiting for someone to walk the field and imagine the shape of the missing walls.
