Visit Notes

Sunday, 3rd July 2005

Standing just southwest of St. Caimin’s is a fine round tower. The top few metres are missing, as is (obviously) its conical roof. The doorway is 4m above ground level and has a simple arch-topped design.

There is a window on the east side two floors above the doorway with a pointed top and one on the west a further floor up. Another square window faces north.
