  Dromiskin Irish Round Tower
Comments: Dromiskin is an odd-looking tower, but somehow rather endearing with all the history and mystery behind its appearance.
Dromiskin was plundered by the Irish in 908, by the Danes in 978 and again by the Irish in 1043.
The upper portion of the tower appears to have been adapted as a bell tower previous to 1758 when Wright sketched what he felt was a reconstruction of the tower at it's full height.

 20TH GENERATION
Perhaps because of this, William, who had been living at Dromiskin, attempted to stake a claim to the lease himself, thus hoping to gain all of the family's Co. Louth estate.
Though the case was finally settled c.1715 (with the lease of Dromiskin coming into possession of Thomas), the family as a whole had by this stage become involved in another legal dispute with the Archbishop of Armagh, who accused Sir Thomas and William Fortescue of surreptitiously annexing church estates during the upheaval of the 1690s.
The descendants of Thomas Fortescue continued to hold Dromiskin during the eighteenth century, whilst those of his uncle, William, held and/or acquired various estates in Louth and elsewhere.
