I found it:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tower_of_Hercules
'The tower remains a sentinel from days long past. It is known to have
existed by the 2nd century, built or perhaps rebuilt under Trajan,
perhaps on foundations and just possibly following a design that was
Phoenician in origin.'

You mean 'so there likely goes the notion ...'?
Would you consider the Phoenicians pre-Iron Age?
