Eask Tower, Navigation tower on Carhoo Hill near Dingle, Ireland

Eask Tower is a solid stone tower on Carhoo Hill above Dingle Harbour, standing 180 metres above sea level. It was originally 8.2 metres high; around 1900 the old wooden hand was removed and 4 metres of stone were added, with a new hand placed near the start of the extension. A wooden hand points from the tower toward the harbour mouth.

The tower was built in 1847 during the Great Famine as an employment project, commissioned by Reverend Charles Gayer. The monument arose during a time of great hardship for the local population, who worked on relief efforts.

The tower displays a directional marker toward the harbor, reflecting maritime traditions of County Kerry's coastal communities. This was essential help for fishers and merchants guiding their vessels safely into the bay.

You can reach the tower by following Slea Head Road from Dingle and turning at the Colâiste Ide signpost. The location offers straightforward access with parking available nearby for visitors.

The tower was originally 8.2 m high; around 1900 the old wooden hand was removed and 4 m of stone added, with a new hand set near the start of the extension. The hilltop also holds a 19th-century mariners' beacon and a World War II look-out post.
