Anglo-Irish big house

The term big house (Irish: teach mór) refers to the country houses, mansions, or estate houses of the historical landed class in Ireland. The houses formed the symbolic focal point of the landed Anglo-Irish political dominance of Ireland from the late 16th century, and many were destroyed or attacked during the Irish revolutionary period.
