I have to appolgise to the people of Dromsiskin. WhenI first saw this round tower I couldn't stop laughing. It now stands just 10m high, but has been capped ridiculously with a coned roof similar to what would have been on top originally but some 30m higher up. Frankly it looks like it shrunk in the wash.
