Further to investigations at New Quay to discover the location of the town wall of Clonmel (Excavations 1992, 58), a further series of test trenches was excavated to locate the tower at the south-east corner of the walled town. Substantial remains of this tower were located and planned. The diameter of the tower is over 7m. No evidence for the western return of the wall remained.
The results of this testing and of recent excavations in Clonmel, are to be published by B. Ó Ríordáin in the Tipperary Journal 1994.
