Description
Lantern slide of a church and round tower, Lusk, Co. Dublin. Originally labeled 'D3 III 10' and with the title 'Lusk. RSAI.' Both the round tower and church are located in St Macullin's graveyard. The round tower forms a dethatched turret to the 15th century belfry tower. The tower contains 8 floors and is made from limestone. The tower is entered at the south-east side and its interior is lit by narrow windows. It was St. MacCullin who founded the monastery at Lusk around 450 AD, but the only remains of its Early Christian foundation is the tower. Apart from the West tower, the original medieval church was destroyed in the 19th century with the present structure built in 1847.
