An Túr Faire (19th century tower)
This tower is an example of the Napoleonic towers. These were built on the Irish coast in the early 19th century in response to the threat of French invasion.

The signalling system allowed communication along the coast between signalling stations, which were built to be visible to other stations on either side. To send a message, one had to raise and lower a large flag, a small pendant and four black balls. They were raised in various combinations on a system centred on a tall wooden mast. The stations could also communicate with ships.
