Synopsis
Excerpt from Notes on Irish Architecture, Vol. 2
This is the only tower I have ever seen without any remains of a church in its neigh bourhood. On this circumstance Dr. Reeves remarks: This monument of antiquity, to a stranger would appear, from the Smoothness of the sward that surrounds it, and the total absence of any kindred building, to.have been a solitary erection; but the testimony of those who'removed the foundations of adjacent walls, and who cleared away vast quantities of human remains from the surrounding space, and especially of the mason, who about twenty years ago repaired the top of the tower, and built into it a sculptured architrave of freestone which he found among the ruins, goes to prove that this tower, like all its fellows.
