Visit Notes

Sunday, 9th December 2001

The OS maps says nothing of the round tower and instead shows a ringwork at this location. I think this is a data entry problem more than anything else.

The tower is complete with conical roof.

I did not enter the Heritage Center and settled for a photograph from a nearby pub car park.

Miscellanea

I have been informed that this one is a 19th Century fake and so it no longer appears in the round tower listings. Many thanks to Eoin McAuly for the info.
