A poignant view of the old graveyard under that gloomy sky. Very effective!

This is such a beautiful image Margaret! I adore the round tower and think this would be a fabulous resting place! BV

powerful image Mairéad...those were desperate times, with Danes still on a raiding rampage, and this is a charged image of the historical site...V

Interesting scene and very moody with the gray skies.

I'm still trying to fathom the usefulness of it. As an observation post maybe, but it would be largely useless as a fortification. Pretty in its own way, though.
