The round tower at Inishkeen was described (Reade 1855, 376-7) as having a circumference of ‘51 feet (ext. diam. c. 4.85m) and survives to a height of 42 feet (c. 12.8m)’. The rebuilt lintelled doorway is 4.1m off the ground and faces SE. Debris in the interior was cleared to 0.75m below ground level in 1973 (Barrow 1979, 172-3). The tower had three internal floors according to Reade, but only two levels of internal corbels survive (ibid.).
