Standing 5m W of the church (GA029-017002-) on W boundary wall of the graveyard. This ruined circular tower (D 4.8m, H 16.5m), which stands on a plinth, was a least three storeys in height. It is built of roughly cut and regularly coursed limestone save for the plain round-headed doorway on NE side which is of sandstone. This stands 4.55m above ground level. There are traces of a window on NNE side in the broken wall just above 2nd-floor level. (Kelly 1901b; O'Flanagan 1927, Vol. 1, 92-5; Barrow 1979, 97-8)
