Tower, Springhill, Springhill Road, Moneymore, Magherafelt, Co Londonderry

A circular 2 stage roofless and crenellated tower, stone built with brick trim. The tower has a segmental brick arched opening on the S E side and centrally over a large pointed brick arched opening which is repeated on SW, NW and SE aspects. Walls externally built of random rubble stonework and finished on top with crenellations. The structure is on the SE axis from the main house where the main stair window gazes up on the beech walk to the tower. Formerly the walk was lined with mature beech trees but many were blown down in early 1960 and have been replaced roughly from the Ha-Ha to the Tower. Around the tower is a considerable number of mature trees and new planting with gate access to adjoining fields. A stone bearing the date 1731 can be seen on the north side of the tower. Good view of house from tower.
