What is recorded here
Tower is a designed landscape (folly) in Ballyeeskeen, County Sligo, Ireland. Maps from 1837 to 1909 marked the tower, but no upstanding remains are visible now.
Not listed in the SMR (1989) but included in the RMP (1995) and classified ' Tower Site'. Marked on the 1837 edition of the OS 6-inch map as 'Tower' It is named 'Lady Margaret's Tower (in Ruins)' on the 1909 OS 25-inch plan. There are no surviving upstanding remains visible. This is in all probability a folly.
