  2. St Finian's Tower

    Share Share Post
    St Finian’s tower is sometimes called Mc Carthys tower. There is a church joined on to this tower called Finian’s church. Some say that the tower was built first and that the church was added on afterwards, but others say that the church was built first. The church and tower are called after Feenian Mc Carthy and they were built in the 12th century. The church was used as a mortary chapel. This tower is not so high as O Rourkes tower and the roof which goes up into a point is still on it.
