What is recorded here
Lissanard East, a castle site in County Galway, holds the promise of a forgotten stronghold. Whether it guarded a coastal approach or anchored a local lineage remains unspoken. The absence of detail does not diminish the place; it invites imagination. A castle unclassified is a castle waiting to be seen.
