Description
Squat cylindrical tower with adjoining walls; of local rubble construction, partly on rock foundations. The tower is of two stages and tapers slightly towards the top; here there is broad string course and a rubble dome surmounted by an urn finial of reconstituted stone. Balustraded opening to road side with shouldered rubble arch; reconstituted stone balustrade. Plain entrance to the rear and small square upper lights to the sides.
Adjoining the Look Out is a short section of curved rubble wall which advances in a convex sweep towards the road. Here it returns at right-angles to run north-eastwards, parallel with the street, for some 10 m at a height of 2.5 m; at the end the wall returns to terminate into a hillslope. To the R of centre, a round-arched opening with a much eroded sandstone head as keystone. Flanking rectangular lights and a further, similar opening to the NE return section; a sandstone ball finial surmounts the wall at the corner.
