The round tower was originally built here to take advantage of the panoramic views over the Lagan Valley. At the time of the tower's construction, these views would have been useful in spotting incoming Viking raids.

A familiar sight for anyone travelling through the village of Drumbo. The monastery is associated with St Mochumma, a brother of St Domangard. The site was plundered by Connor, son of Artgal McLochlin in 1130. Remains of a church were noted in the 18th century close to the Round Tower.

This truncated Irish round tower survives to a height of 10.7m. Inside there are beam holes indicating that the internal floors were of timber. There are six surviving levels including the basement.

Wonderfully placed with the hills in the background.
