The Waterloo Round Tower is a folly bell tower in Waterloo village in Ballygibbon townland, 2 kilometers north of Blarney in county Cork, Ireland.[1] It is situated next to St. Mary's church on a hill, and overlooks the River Martin and the 18th-century Putland's Bridge which predates the tower.[2] The tower was built in 1843 to resemble mediaeval round towers which are common in Ireland, but is otherwise unrelated to them.
