What is recorded here

The Anthologia Hibernica (Vol. IV., p. 105 July - December 1794) contains a sketch of a Round Tower in ruins at Kellistown (JKAS 1933, 271-7). A drawing by J. Saunders TCD, believed to date to c. 1797 also depicts the round tower in ruins. The OS Letters (O' Flanagan 1934, 44) note that the Belfry of the chuch (CW008-038001-) was built where the round tower stood. Reference: O' Flanagan, E. (typescript) 1934 Letters containing information relative to the Antiquities of the County of Carlow collected during the progress of the Ordnance Survey in 1839.
