We describe an algorithm for finding the coefficients of $F(X)$ modulo powers of $p$, where $p\neq 2$ is a prime number and $F(X)$ is the power series associated to the zeta function of Kubota and Leopoldt. We next calculate the 5-adic and 7-adic ${\it\lambda}$-invariants attached to those cubic extensions $K/\mathbb{Q}$ with cyclic Galois group ${\mathcal{A}}_{3}$ (up to field discriminant ${<}10^{7}$), and also tabulate the class number of $K(e^{2{\it\pi}i/p})$ for $p=5$ and $p=7$. If the ${\it\lambda}$-invariant is greater than zero, we then determine all the zeros for the corresponding branches of the $p$-adic $L$-function and deduce ${\rm\Lambda}$-monogeneity for the class group tower over the cyclotomic $\mathbb{Z}_{p}$-extension of $K$.
