was looking through Lewis' topography last weekend (the exciting life i have!) on the town i'm from and apprently there was a 75ft round tower in Newbridge. Lewis said is was gone by the time he was there but it was within "living memory" of the local people. it got demolished along with the local abbey that founded was in the early 1200's and Raspberry Castle to built the British barracks in the town. i've never heard of any round tower, in Newbridge before and i'm fairly okay on the auld local history. anyone got any info??
