Eask Tower, Navigation tower on Carhoo Hill near Dingle, Ireland
The stone tower rises 12 meters high with walls measuring 5 meters thick, standing at an elevation of 180 meters above sea level.
Built in 1847 during the Great Famine as a relief project, Reverend Charles Gayer commissioned the tower to guide ships into Dingle Harbor.
The tower features a wooden arrow pointing to the harbor entrance, representing the maritime navigation traditions of County Kerry's coastal communities.
Visitors can reach the tower by following Slea Head Road from Dingle for 3.2 kilometers, then turning left at the Colâiste Ide signpost.
From its position, the tower provides views of the Blasket Islands, Skellig Rocks, and Ireland's tallest peaks, Carrauntoohil and Mount Brandon.
