I’m not too far from Glendalough. The reason the entrances to the Round Towers were elevated was that in case of attack (pesky Viking’s and such) is that the monks could climb the ladder and draw it up behind them whilst the place was ransacked.

Oh, how awesome is that--have you been to St. Kevin's?

By the way, if you wish to have all postcards from Ireland, please send me an email and then I'll mail them!

Yes many times. It’s situated by a lake you can walk around.

Thanks for the offer but as it stands most of my possessions are in storage and I fear the same fate would befall the postcards. They deserve to go someone who could display them properly.
