Tower in estate wall, Hilltown Road, Tollymore Park, near Bryansford, Newcastle, Co Down

Rubble-built gothick gateway tower set in the wall to the N side of Tollymore Park, one of a series of follies constructed by the 2nd Lord Limerick c.1780. The estate wall runs to the S side of the Hilltown Road, W of Bryansford village, with the gateway tower located just over half a mile W of the village. The tower is square in plan with a cornice, and is in fieldstone rubble. It is capped with a tall pyramidal spire with bap stones to each face and a granite cap with ball finial. To the N and S faces are pointed arch recesses with a springing course and bap stones either side of the arch itself. These recesses represent the original gateway, but this is now filled in (on the N side) with rubble. The E and W faces are abutted by the estate wall and both have stepped flying buttresses. The structure is roughly 2.5m square and 5.5m high. Grass is growing out of the base of the spire.
