Castle Rushen, Round Tower

Archaeology

Post medieval tower.


The approach to the castle from the north was protected from the early 16th century by the construction of an outer artillery tower. Unlike the other outer defensive strongpoints constructed in this period, the Round Tower was not physically connected or incorporated in the glacis.
