Turlough Castle

Máire Rua held Turlough Castle through the blood and chaos of the mid-seventeenth century, denying every rival who believed the knoll should have fallen. The castle resisted because she understood that property is not a line on a page but a relationship between people, memory and land. Her name has vanished from most accounts, yet the mound still stands where her judgement outlasted every army and claimant.
