- (continued from previous page)About 20 yds from west end of church are remains of a lofty square tower which was connected with the conventional buildings and evidently built for defence. Walls are massive and of excellent workmanship. A few yards from south east of the chancel is a low circular tower called "The Columbarium", about 28' high, and are perpendicular. It has two doors, inside it is very curious, built in square compartments and in regular tiers one over the other to a height of 15 ft. There are eleven tiers of pigeon holes, thirty two in a tier. It is the neatest and most curious specimen of hammer-dressed work either ancient or modern.
