Hmmm, thinking again, the door is very low for a proper round tower, maybe it's just a belfry??

Be right back

Guess it's not too easy!!

Yes, I've been thinking that too.
The top is castellated, not pointed, but even though I tell google that I'm looking for a round "bell tower", Google seems to think it knows best and gives me the standard round towers.
Never appreciated how many round towers there are in the country.

Can someone take my go, please? I'm off to brave the warzone that is A&E at St. James's Hospital, Dublin.

Thanks for that.
For those of us who spent a little time yesterday focusing on the tower, it dates from 1832, not 832.

Did anyone else try to read the above to the rhythm of "and we'll all go together" ?

I'm sure that was the point...

Ha, I must admit I'm not a fan of traditional Irish music so while I knew the line "Will you go Lassie go" I hadn't a clue who sang it or the line "And we'll all go together" - Youtube helped me out there now!

Anyway, hopefully this one isn't too hard - might be a little off the beaten track

:D:D The last ones I put up were gone straight away so said I'd give a bit more of a challenge

Here's a more achievable one - be interested to see if anyone gets the other one!

Fair dues!

Don't think I've ever been referred to as "dear" before either

I spent many a day there swimming but I didn't think too many on boards would have been down there!

That other one's going to be tricky, but given the amount of bins, I'll take a stab at...

That's the one. Thought it would be obscure coming up from that side road but nothing get past the regulars on this thread!
