Description
The tower and adjoining wall, located about 80 meters to the west of Farleigh Castle, date from around 1806. The tower is constructed of coursed rubble Doulting stone and features a flat roof. It has a square plan and consists of two stages. The tower includes a two-light square Ham stone mullion window with a stopped drip mould and diagonal leaded panes. Above this window, there are two stone-framed vertical openings. On the east elevation at this level, there are two cruciform openings, and the structure has a bracketted embattled parapet with a round stair turret supported by corbels. The south-east corner also has a bracketted embattled parapet. Extending to the west for about 20 meters and then south for approximately 40 meters is a 3-meter high rubble stone wall that encloses a vegetable garden, which is included primarily for its group value.
