40.^''Ardfert : " It was 120 feet in height and esteemed the finest in 

 Ireland," says Archdall,^ "but being neglected it unfortunately 

 fell to the ground in 1771."^ Miss Hickson states that, when a 

 child, about 1834, she often saw the "large fragments of the 

 round tower, resembling . . . huge cannon dismounted, lying on 

 the side of the road under the hedge. The tower is said to haye 

 fallen in these cylindrical masses during a great storm in 1771." 

 Dr. Beaufort's memoir for a Map of Ireland says it fell all at 

 once, but Seward says only a part fell, and there was hope it 

 could be repaired.*
