What is recorded here

Marked only on the 1915 ed. of the OS 6-inch map where it is described as being in ruins. It is situated on top of Lackan Hill. Only the N part of an ivy-covered circular tower (int. diam. 3.9m; H c. 7m) with a rubble core wall (T 1m) and the jambs of doors at E and W at the ground floor survives. It was excavated into rath (RO045-001002-), with a sunken path approaching the tower from the SSE. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010
