Killevy Round Tower

Killevy Round Tower is a free historic site in Newry, County Down. The site of an early round tower beside the ancient Killevy churches near Slieve Gullion.

The roofless churches and old graveyard at Killevy invite a slower sort of visit. Associated with St Moninne, the site carries a long religious history in its surviving stonework. Despite references to a round tower, there isn’t one standing here today.
