This is antrim's Round Tower, known locally as the 'Steeple' and is one of the finest round tower in Ireland. As you can see from the Past photo only the surroundings have changed. The windows by the way each face all the Cardinal points of the compass and most of the tower was built with basalt sone brought from Tardree. The original cone was made of granite and has a stone spear on the top of it but in 1819 the cone was shattered by lightning and was replaced with Tardree stone by William Clarke of Steeple House but for the capstone he used part of a stone lintel from the old Aentrobh's Church.
