On S-facing slope, above sharp fall in ground to S, within possible early ecclesiastical site (13905). Described by Smith (1750, vol. 1, 294) as 'stump of a round tower'. OS archives for 1844 (Walsh 1987a, 145) describe 'semi-circular foundation about 2 feet above the general surface of the ground'; solid line of foundations extends on sketch plan SE->NW, rest of circle (diam. c. 7.5m) marked by broken line (ibid.). No visible surface trace of tower remains. (Barrow 1979, 211) The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 4: North Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2000). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
