The Clock Tower in Kenagh was built in 1878 in memory of Laurence King-Harman who resided at Newcastle, Ballymahon and was landlord over 28,000 acres in South Longford.
 

There is an inscription at the base of the tower which says that the Clock Tower was built by the tenants in memory of a loving landlord.
 

A sum of £1,100 was collected from the tenants for the construction of the tower. The building itself cost £500 and the clock cost £550.
