There was formerly a round tower at Raphoe. It was demolished by Bishop John Leslie when he built his palace in 1636-7 (Wood 1937, 304-5). It can be inferred from a reference to it in John Lynch’s De Praesulibus Hibernicis (O’Doherty, ed. I, 1944, 243) that the bishop’s palace occupies the site of this tower (Ó Gallachair 1973, 323 also Barrow 1979, 74-75).
