The Round Towers of Ireland; or, The History of the Tuath-De-Danaans

by Henry O'Brien

Tullagherin (Kilkenny).

Tullosherin (Waterford), near Dungarvan; mentioned by Vallancey.

*Turlough (Mayo), good specimen, but reconstructed in part.

West Carbery (?), so mentioned by Vallancey, but probably Roiscarbery (q.v.).

Note.—Round Towers, evidently imitations of the Irish R. T., exist at Brechin and Abernethy in Scotland. There is, also, a rather doubtful specimen at Peel (Isle of Man), and a still more doubtful one at Hythe (Kent).

II. CROSSES.

Achath, Abhall, or Aghold (Wicklow), much weather-worn.

*Ardboe, or Arboe (Tyrone), about 20 feet high, with remarkable sculpture.

Armagh, imperfect; when complete, at least 26 feet high; sculptured.

Banagher (Derry), curious sculptured figure of man on horseback.
