Red is the emblem of domination ID

Ireland's Round Towers.

No one knows exactly when or why
The round towers in Ireland were
built. but some believe that the druid,
erected them as watch towers and
places to which to go for safety in
time Of danger. A good many of the
towers have the tops broken down and
those which show the cone tops intact
have mostly been restored There lis
no door on the ground, the doors be-
ing purposely built at about 10 or
- feet from the ground and were
reached by ladders.
After the people had climbed inside
they drew their ladders up after them
and thus were out of reach of the
Danes who frequently invaded the
country, The tiny windows OF these
towers are far up toward the top also
About so round towers remain In Ire.

feet. According to one authority. they
were probably built between the 9th
and 18th centuries.
