What is recorded here

It stands on a rocky outcrop above the River Suir, watching the water for Spanish ships and keeping the city docks under constant guard. The tower still points down the river toward Reginald's Tower and up toward Granagh Castle, unchanged in its purpose of seeing danger before it lands.
