The National Monuments Service's description
The exact nature of a building named 'turret' on the 1842 OS 5-foot plan of Macroom Town is not clear. Macroom is not listed by Thomas (1992) as a walled town so it is unlikely to be a mural tower. The function of this structure is not known. It is no longer evident on the ground (Zajac et al. 1995, 69).
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
