Description
The structure consists of a wall, gateway, arbour, and the remains of a tower house, located to the south of Whitton Grange. It dates from the medieval period and was altered in 1921 by Robert Mauchlen, using re-used old stone.
On the left, there is a wall approximately 9 feet high featuring a round-headed doorway with a boarded door and flat coping. To the right, a similar wall contains an arbour designed as a segmental recess, which has a re-used chamfered lintel inscribed with "S E 1706," supported by shaped brackets.
At the rear, the lower part of one wall of the tower house is visible, characterized by very thick walls. The lower courses of the basement vault can be seen. Additionally, built into the 1921 wall, there is a 14th-century piscina with a trefoiled head and a petalled drain.
