Description
The Round Tower at Glendalough in County Wicklow in Ireland stands within the walls of the cemetery. It was uncommonly well built and is in fine preservation. It is considered by many to be one of the most finely constructed and beautiful towers in Ireland.
Situated in a thickly forested valley, the 30.48 metre (110 ft) tall tower is built of mica schist with a granite doorway. The conical roof was rebuilt in 1876 using the original stones that were found inside the tower. The round tower is divided internally into 6 storeys by timber floors, connected by ladders. The four storeys above entrance level are each lit by a small window; while the top story has four windows facing the cardinal compass points.
Glendalough (Irish: Gleann Dá Loch, means "Valley of two lakes") is a glacial valley renowned for an Early Medieval monastic settlement founded in the 6th century by St Kevin. From 1825 to 1957, the head of the Glendalough Valley was the site of a galena lead mine.
