Round tower in Churchland — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

St. Kieran the elder founded the site in the fifth century, long before the Augustinian priory rose above the older stones. The round tower base still marks the north-west angle, its thick wall surviving beneath a restored church and a possible hidden passage. The bivallate enclosure holds the whole strange layer of faith, waiting for someone to walk its quiet grass and imagine the voices that first shaped it.

National Monument No. 497, consisting of a poorly preserved church (OF039-003005-), base of round tower (OF039-003003-), low motte (OF039-003009-), possible Man-made underground passage (OF039-003026-) and building (OF039-003008-) all of which is contained within the impressive remains of a bivallate ecclesiastical enclosure (OF039-003001-). Founded by St. Kieran the elder in the fifth century (ITA Survey 1943). Only the base of a round tower (int. diam. 2.86m; wall T 1.2m) located at the W end of the N wall of the Augustinian priory on the NW angle of the priory (OF039-003004-) which has been recently restored.
