    This tower is about forty-two feet high. It was built by Cromwell, and was used as a watch tower.
    The view from the top is so great, that thirty miles of the surrounding country can be seen. The following are some of the places to be seen:- Cork City, Douglas, Light Ship, and even the Head of Kinsale.
    This tower is square and narrow. There was a fire in it, where the soldiers could warm themselves, while their companions kept watch on the tower above, which was reached by steps on the outside.
