What is recorded here

Tower is a solid stone chamber, three metres high and six metres long, embedded in the north-west wall of a Galway cashel. It may have served as a lookout or been built as a folly, a useless shape given to occupy the edge of a working boundary. That uncertainty is the point: a tower can watch, threaten or decorate, and the wall still stands with it inside.

Incorporated into the enclosing wall of a cashel (GA103-086001-) at NNW is a later solid stone structure (H 3m; L 6.3m; Wth 2.8m; ) which may have acted as a lookout or may be a folly. It is marked and named ‘Tower’ on 3rd ed. of OS map (1933). (Westropp 1919, 178; McCaffrey 1952, 189, no. 77) Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 19 January 2017
