The Round Tower is an impressive reminder of Antrim’s ancient monastic settlement. It was built around the 10th century as a bell-tower as part of the Early Christain monastery and is known locally as The Steeple.

It is 28 metres tall and is one of the finest of its kind in Ireland. The monastic site was burned in 1147.
