Tower houses, the castles of the Irish countryside
The name begins with ráth, the Irish for the bank around an earthen ringfort.
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.
