Standing in the churchyard of Drumbo Presbyterian Church (see Image). It is not complete, however, as the top section has been removed or destroyed. Round towers were constructed all over Ireland in the 9th - 12th centuries as belfries and monastic keeps. See http://www.geograph.org.uk/search.php?i=2829904 for other examples from around Ireland (and some elsewhere in the British Isles). See also http://www.geograph.org.uk/search.php?i=11230903 for some other images of the tower.
