Rosskerrig Tower is the ruin of an early modern tower house overlooking Dunmanus Bay, precisely between Ahakista and Kilcrohane. The square, leaning tower stands on a small rise next to the R591 and forms a striking silhouette in the open landscape. Once this was a defensive residential tower of a local family, strategically placed to keep an eye on the bay and the passage over the Sheep’s Head Peninsula.
