Located within St Macullin's graveyard, the round tower forms a detached north-east turret to the 15th century belfry tower at Lusk. It is built of coursed limestone masonry and contains eight floors under a conical roof (H c. 34m). The wall is slightly battered and the thickness of the wall is reduced from the bottom to the top (T 1.4m-0.9m). The tower is entered in the ESE through a doorway which has a plain moulding. A trap door in the interior provides access to the basement of the tower (int. dims.2.2m-2.5m). The interior is lit by narrow slit opes (Healy 1975, 20; Barrow 1975, 65-67, 8:10 (03)). The conical roof was restored in 1860 by William reeves, rector of Lusk at the time.
