Glendalough

The Round Tower – built of mica-slate and granite, the tower is 30m high. The conical roof was
rebuilt in 1876 using the original stones found inside the tower. Round towers were originally
built as bell towers, landmarks for approaching visitors, but also served as store houses and
places of refuge in times of attack.
