What is recorded here
In the SW corner of a graveyard (KD015-007004-) which also contains a medieval parish church (KD015-007005-). The remains consist of the lower portions (H 10m) of a round tower (ext. diam 4.8m; av. wall T 1.1m), built of coursed limestone masonry. The round-headed, granite doorway c. 2.5m above ground level has slightly inwardly inclining jambs, and faces E. Three floor-levels can be identified and one round-headed window survives at first-floor level, looking S. The round tower and nearby church are National Monuments (No. 190) in State ownership.
