Description
This is a folly located approximately 10 meters west of Ye Old Farm House at Middleton, likely built in the early 19th century. It is constructed from sandstone rubble and consists of a two-storey tower that is circular in shape, with a taller, narrower turret attached to the south side. Both the tower and the turret feature projecting embattled parapets with copings. On the west side of the tower, there are three first-floor windows with plain reveals, although some are now partly bricked up. The turret includes arrow slits, and on the east side, both the tower and turret have a door with plain reveals.
