The structure is built of brick and features a pyramidal flag roof topped with an open lantern. On the south side, there is a blocked entrance and a bull's eye opening, while the entrance is located on the east side. Inside, the walls are lined with brick pigeon holes.

The wall to the west is about 40 meters long and 10 meters high, featuring buttresses and three recessed bays on the south side. There have been 20th-century repairs, and a 20th-century lean-to shed is situated on the north side.
