Peel, Castle, The Round Tower 1893

More about this scene
Built in the Irish style, the round tower dates from the 10th or 11th centuries and would have been used by the monks as a place of refuge during raids by pirates or Vikings. It is built from local red sandstone and stands 50 ft high. Originally it would have had a conical stone roof, but this was replaced by the crenellated top many centuries ago.
