Derry's Long Tower
Thanks to Carbon Dating, experts from Queens University have found that the ruin of a tower in Derry believed to have associations with the Great Siege of 1689 are in fact much older, 800 years at least, and built about the year 1200. The tower is thought to be Derry's legendary Long Tower that most historians have felt long destroyed.
