  1. The Round Tower in Kill

    Share Share Post
    There is a Round Tower in Keoghs land in Kill. Keogh married one of the Landnozes and the land belongs to him now.
    There is a big orchard in front of it and the Landnozes used to sleep in it at night. They used to put a loaded gun beside one of the little windows and if anyone came to steal apples they shot them. It is a two story building with a five little windows. The top floor is broken down now. The under floor was made of mud. The top one was boarded. There was a thatched. It was taken off a few years ago.
