On a height in an area of exposed limestone at the SE end of Árainn/Inishmore, overlooking Gregory’s Sound and Inis Meáin/Inishmaan to the SE. This circular drystone structure (ext. D 4m; H 3m) is built of rough limestone blocks and spalls. Two straight lines in the walling at SSW tentatively suggest the presence of a doorway (Wth 0.95m) that was subsequently blocked up. It is reputedly the grave of St Gregory (Westropp 1895, 265). Lennox Barrow (1979, 106) discounted it as a round tower and suggested it was possibly a marker for boats at sea. Its date is uncertain.
