What is recorded here

Tower (in Ruins) stands as a vanished belvedere atop a rock outcrop in County Cork, Ireland. A retaining wall still circles the stone, though green growth has swallowed every brick and beam. The site preserves only the shape of ambition: a platform built to tilt human eyes upward, then surrendered to rain and time.

Site of tower located atop rock outcrop; retaining wall around rock outcrop visible through overgrowth. No structural remains visible. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 1: West Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1992). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
