LIII. Observations on the Round Towers in Ireland:
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 24 July 2012
Extract
In the parish of Ardmore, and county of Waterford, in Ireland, there is a round tower built of hewn stone, upwards of one hundred feet high, and forty-five feet in circumference at the base; the door is fifteen feet from the ground; the roof is pyramidal, being of stone, very well cut, and closely joined together, and well plaistered within side, from top to bottom, as clean and white as if newly done. The whole fabric is divided into four unequal beltings or stories, with a window to each; having four windows in the upper story. On the top is a kind of cross.
