"The Irish Round Tower - Origins and Architecture Explored" by Brian Lalor (1999) lists 24 missing round towers and none of them are in Kildare. This is a very comprehensive book, listing many possibles as well as the knowns.

I can find no mention of a tower at Newbridge in Petrie's "The Round Towers and Ancient Architecture of Ireland" (1859)

Are there any round churches recorded for Ireland, because if there are and they aren't under the heading of round tower (I presume this designation is not restricted to freestanding ones ?) that is a possible explanation
