What is recorded here

Tullira Castle stands in County Galway beside a fifteen-century tower house, linking medieval stone to the 1882 residence associated with Edward Martyn. The broad demesne preserves gate screens, walled gardens, outbuildings and woodland, giving the castle a lived-in shape rather than a lonely ruin. Martyn’s presence suggests a home where literature, memory and everyday labour shared the same rooms.
