What is recorded here

Kinturk Castle in County Mayo is a late medieval Irish tower house, built during the 15th or 16th century as a defensive stronghold and symbol of local power. Its thick tapering limestone walls, narrow defensive windows, murder holes and machicolations show skilled local craftsmanship, while its height and position let inhabitants watch the countryside and manage their lands. Though roofless and partially ruined now, its tall remaining walls still suggest the chambered life within, where storage, livestock and private rooms stacked one above the other in a turbulent world of rival chieftains and Anglo-Norman families.
