Tower houses, the castles of the Irish countryside
Most of the castles around Tuam are tower houses rather than the great fortresses the word suggests: tall stone towers built from the later Middle Ages onward to be lived in as much as defended, commanding a crossing or a stretch of good land with a small household. They first appeared in Ireland, Scotland, England and the Frisian and north Spanish coasts in the High Middle Ages and spread from there; in Scotland's borders they were the peel towers, in Italy the city towers of feuding families. A good tower house has a vaulted floor against fire, a stone stair, corner bartizans to cover the walls, and a machicolation over the door for dropping things on whoever is knocking.
