    Actually, that is not a bell tower but a reinforced dunny, for the wind and rain that Winter will bring.

    The NIAH says:

    Freestanding Church of Ireland church, built 1828 and extended in 1890 and 1913 - 5, comprising four-bay nave, single-bay chancel to the east (added 1890) and three-stage tower (on square-plan) to the west (added 1913)

    Also:
    The chancel and the clasping buttresses were added in 1890

    So, 1890-1913

    That obeliskular gravestone looks well kept, might have a date...

    The size suggests either a prominent family or perhaps a clergyman.

    The always-interesting John F. Finerty (nearly) strikes again in his excellent "Pictures of Ireland", published in 1898. On page 300, he talks about St. Vincent's Church in Sunday's Well and provides this description to go along with the image:

    p300i - St. Vincent's Church, Sunday's Well

    "ST. VINCENT'S CHURCH, SUNDAY'S WELL, CORK. -The sketch shows, seated picturesquely on an eminence above the river Lee, the Catholic Church of St. Vincent, which is the principal ecclesiastical edifice in the suburb of the city of Cork, known as Sunday's Well. It is so called from an ancient spring, said to have been made sacred to Druid rites before the era of Christianity in Ireland, and afterward utilized by the Catholic Fathers for baptismal purposes. The spring contains water peculiarly clear and cold, absolutely devoid of mineral flavor, and is much prized by the inhabitants of the district.

    Owing to its fine situation, Sunday's Well was formerly much visited by the citizens of Cork, and many handsome homes existed there. The changes wrought by time, however, have not been favorable to the district as a fashionable residence locality, and the well-to-do people now build their dwellings elsewhere. Yet Sunday's Well is by no means abandoned, and the view to be obtained from the hill above the Lee, is regarded as one of the finest in the beauteous South of Ireland. There is a tradition to the effect that the gallant and ill—fated Lord Edward Fitzgerald resided, "on his keeping" in the vicinity, during the month of April, 1798. On his return to Dublin, he was captured, severely wounded and died in prison."

    Google Maps is telling me that this is actually in Co. Carlow. The border is the river Clody behind the camera.
