I'm always torn on if this type of ruin should be allowed to just fade away or artificially preserved

If it's any consolation, there are hundreds of these towerhouses/castles scattered throughout Ireland, some are like this one, some are little more than a pile of rocks, but a fair number are restored to some degree.

Craggaunowen Castle and Knappogue Castle are restored and used regularly for re-enactments, both are a stones throw from this ruin.
