The 16th century tower house at West Gate was part of the original defences. A wine merchant named Gallwey who lived in Ormond Castle paid for the town clock to be installed in the tower in 1784. This narrow and solidly built tower house, with its battered bases, formed an important part of the town’s defences by guarding an access gate into the west end of the town.
