Ireland’s round towers are some of our most instantly recognisable reminders of our past. If you’ve ever visited the likes of the Rock of Cashel, Glendalough, Clonmacnoise – or even driven down the M8 motorway – you may have marvelled at these soaring structures. But when were they built and why? Who commissioned them and how were they constructed? A fantastic new publication provides an insight into these iconic monuments. It’s by archaeologist Christiaan Corlett of the National Monuments Service, who joins Neil to discuss the potential origins, dating, and purpose of our round towers.
