Kinneigh Round Tower
The unique Kinneigh Round Tower is located approx. 5 km northwest of the villages of Enniskean and Ballineen in West Cork, Ireland, on a side road just to the south of R 588. It was built on the site of a monastery founded by St. Colman (Macolmog), and is unique in that the lower 18 feet are hexagonal and the upper section round. The round tower has a square headed doorway and an internal ladder, access to which is closed, leads to the top. This was altered in the last century to make a belfry.
