What is recorded here

Tower (in Ruins) stands as a vanished belvedere on the north side of Crookhaven peninsula, its stones erased but its purpose preserved in memory. Two other towers still appear northeast, suggesting a deliberate line of sight across water rather than a random cluster of marble. The empty site becomes a room without walls, inviting imagination to complete what erosion removed.
