| Notes: | Scattery Island was a monastic centre from early times. St. Seanán founded a monastery there in the 6th century. The round tower is one of the tallest in the country, and unusually the door is at ground level. The entrance to a round tower is normally raised as the towers were primarily built as defensive structures. Robert French was the chief photographer responsible for photographing three quarters of the Lawrence Collection.
