Description

The ornamental tower, built in 1808 by John Nash for J.B. Trevanion, is located about 10 metres north-west of Caerhays Castle. Constructed from slatestone rubble, the tower has a small L-shaped plan and features retaining walls on both sides. The two-storey tower is topped with an embattled parapet and includes a two-centred arched doorway. The left retaining wall is buttressed, while the right wall ramps down. The structure is set into the bank and serves as an ornamental feature within the garden of Caerhays Castle, originally used as a privy.
