I’m looking for a round castle, preferably understated… suggestions?

This is for an embroidery project! The castle/keep in question is from a book series set in very early Ireland but I have an image of it in my head & none of the castles I’ve found that were/are in Ireland fit what my imagination has created so I’m curious if there are any out there, in another part of the world, that may match the version I’ve created in my head…

I’d love to hear/see your suggestions!
