What is recorded here

On a low hilltop. A well-preserved folly (D 2.8m, H c. 12m), of roughly coursed and mortared limestone boulders, built in the style of a round tower. There is a string course below the corbelled roof cap. The structure is apparently solid as there are no doorway or window openings. A plaque at SW reads 'Built in 1776'. Possibly associated with Castlegar House which lies c. 1km to NW. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
