What is recorded here
St. Mullins in County Carlow, Ireland, holds a rare density of lost life: a round tower, a solid-wheeled cross, a motte and bailey, a holy well, six church ruins and a mill. The place does not speak like a museum; it speaks like a repeated human commitment, building and rebuilding beside water.
Present remains consist of a round tower (CW026-011002-), upper portion and base of solid-wheeled cross (CW026-011003-), a motte and bailey with wall foundations visible on summit (CW026-011012-), a holy well (CW026-011011-). There are also the remains of six churches (CW026-011004-), (CW026-011005-), (CW026-011006-). (CW026-011007-), (CW026-011008-), (CW026-011009-) and the remains of a mill (CW026-011013-).
