 doorway with massive lintel, at some height from the ground, and 

 a late conical cap. It was 35 feet high, and was then used as an 

 icehouse, 1808. The vaults are mistaken by Miss Beauford^ on

63. Aughagower : The round tower " is called ' Cloigtheach Achaidh 

 Ghabhair.' It is much destroyed, as tradition says, by lightning, 

 •which blew off the top of it to Teevnish, a distance of about half 

 a mile, where it was to be seen firmly stuck together until a few 

 years ago, when the stones were taken away and burned into 

 lime. Tradition says that this was the belfry of the adjoining 

 church, and that the bell is still under the bog of Teampull na 

 bfiacal alias Knockadoole, where the old people used to hear it 

 ' giving tongue.' "^ National Monument.
