What is recorded here
Cill Ghallagáin is an unclassified castle site in County Mayo, Ireland. Its exact history and purpose remain unknown, but the name suggests a place once shaped by human hands and memory. The land may have held walls, gates or rooms now lost beneath grass and time. What is certain is that the site still exists, waiting to be seen and understood.
