Tower houses, the castles of the Irish countryside
The name begins with cill, the Irish for a church, which usually marks an early church site.
Many of the ruins mapped around Tuam are tower houses, the tall stone farm-castles of the later Middle Ages, built to be lived in with a small household and defended when it came to that, with a vaulted floor against fire, corner bartizans and a machicolation above the door.
