Ardmore Round Tower and Cathedral in Waterford, Republic of Ireland. Aird Mhór, meaning Great Height. On a hill above the village is a well-preserved 29-m-high, 12th-century round tower and the ruins of a Cathedral and oratory dating from the 13th and 8th centuries respectively. One of the outer walls of the Cathedral features some stone carvings retrieved from an earlier 9th-century building. The carvings include a very early image of a harp, images of Adam and Eve in the garden and a representation of Solomons judgement. The Cathedral also contains two Ogham stones, which rest in small alcoves. Some elements of the original structure can still be seen within the building.
