Donaghmore Round Tower was built in the 9th or 10th century. It is well-preserved though missing its conical cap. Unusual features include the stone carvings of heads and a crucifixion above and around the doorway. The architectural style of the church indicates it was built in the 15th Century, most likely replacing an older church. Near Navan, County Meath, Ireland
