Summary:

"There has been much debate on the origin of the Round Tower, but few publications. This book, which makes a significant contribution to the debate, is the first for twenty years on the subject and only the second published during the twentieth century. In this fully-illustrated study the author views them as an integral unit of an often now-vanished ecclesiastical complex."--BOOK JACKET. "Their architectural design, construction, function and landscape setting are looked at in detail and the uniqueness of each Round Tower is described."--Jacket.
