What is recorded here
Round tower in Mocmoyne is a round tower in Mocmoyne, County Roscommon, Ireland. O'Donovan wrote around 1837 that a land surveyor named Connolly had seen the foundations of a round tower at the site of Assylin church. Scholars regard this claim as very dubious because no visible tower remains to confirm the account.
Reference by O'Donovan c. 1837 (O'Flanagan 1931 vol. 1, 100; Herity 2010, 64) that a land surveyor named Connolly had seen the foundations of a round tower at the site of Assylin church (MO005-020001-). It is regarded as very dubious (Barrow 1979, 180).
