Armagh (medieval)
Round tower
Early monastic site with the remains of a church (principally late medieval), a high cross (reputedly brought from nearby Baltray), and round tower. The round tower is unusually short. In 1840 it is recorded that a cabin was built up against it and a door knocked into it and used as a dwelling place, this door was blocked up in 1840. In 1879 the Board of Works carried out repairs to the roof of the tower.
