Great shots and story. I posted a single black and white shot of the tower in Ardmore for a photo challenge a month or so ago which you might find interesting:

That's a nice picture @brightongreg. These things are hidden gems, all typically 1000+ years old and must be close to the oldest buildings in the country, but they seems to be pretty much ignored by everyone.
Thanks! As I mentioned in my post if we hadn't wandered off the main road to find pottery we would never have discovered it!
It's amazing what you find when you take the road less travelled...
I took the road less travelled once and wasn't heard from again for a week.
