What is recorded here

Tower is an overgrown two-storey belvedere beside a nineteenth-century house in County Cork, Ireland. Its rectangular stones and pointed northern door still frame the land, while western bee boles suggest the building once shared itself with insects and people. The garden has forgotten its keeper, but the tower remains clear enough to show why it was made: to stand above the green world and watch it return.

Overgrown 2-storey tower, to SE of 19th century house. Rectangular in plan with pointed door on N side. Bee boles (CO112-077---) to W. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 2: East and South Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1994). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
