To SW of centre in a graveyard (KD028-049011-) on an early monastic site (KD028-049001-). Part of a National Monument (No. 71) in state ownership. According to Bradley et al. (1986 vol. 4, 393), this is a circular tower (diam. 4.5m; H. 10m), the upper portion of which is missing, built of roughly coursed limestone blocks. There is a slightly battered, round headed door at the N side (H. above ground 1.8m). There is a rectangular flat-lintelled window facing S at second floor-level, with granite jambs and a limestone sill. (Barrow 1979, 116-7) Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 17 May 2013
