What is recorded here

Taaffe's Castle rose in Carlingford as a four-storey tower for merchant warriors, guarding harbor trade with murder-holes and roof walks. Nicholas Taaffe fell at the Boyne in 1690, the family drifted to Austria, and the stone sat empty while the town decayed. Today the ancient defense chamber serves pints and conversation, turning martial silence into ordinary life.
