The tower is inside the city. There is no statue of breogan nowhere nearby and the tower has entirely nothing to do with breogan whatsoever. It was no "rebuilt" by the romans, there was nothing previously there.
Disagreement.
I must disagree. It is true that the tower is inside the city, but the nearmost buildings lay at a distance of somewhat 300 m. from the tower. There IS a statue of Breogan, at the bottom of the road leading to the tower, and, according to Ireland's legends, it was from an ancient tower in this place that Breogan's son, Ith, saw Ireland to go and inhabit it. I agree with your last statement, there is no evidence that there was anything there before the tower, but there is neither evidence that there wasn't. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.51.52.8 (talk) 21:15, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
