The Round Towers Or The History Of The Tuatha De Danaans by Henry O'Brien (1808-1835) was published in 1834. O'Brien coined the Irish Round Tower theory which proposes that the Irish round towers were created by a pre-Christian phallic cult among the Tuatha Dé Danann who he connected to the daughters of Danaus. His theory when first published caused a lot of controversy at the time, as well as sparking criticism. Today, the mainstream consensus among archaeologists and historians is that the Irish round towers were created during the early Medieval period, not pre-Christian period which O'Brien proposed.
