Visit Notes

This is a very fine example. Like Clondalkin (County Dublin) it is now standing right on the roadside, towering about the town in a most impressive manner.

A small sign on the gate says that it is 100ft tall and 10th century. Another little sign says that the key is available from the small cottage in the cathedral grounds over the road - I wondered what the very rickety steps were for.
