Description
The Look Out is a squat cylindrical tower with adjoining walls, constructed from local rubble and partly built on rock foundations. The tower has two stages and tapers slightly towards the top, featuring a broad string course and a rubble dome topped with an urn finial made of reconstituted stone. There is a balustraded opening facing the road, which has a shouldered rubble arch and a reconstituted stone balustrade. The rear has a plain entrance, and there are small square upper lights on the sides.
Adjacent to The Look Out is a short section of curved rubble wall that sweeps outwards towards the road in a convex shape. This wall then returns at a right angle to extend north-eastward for about 10 meters, standing at a height of 2.5 meters, and terminates into a hillslope. Towards the right of the center, there is a round-arched opening with a much eroded sandstone head acting as the keystone. Flanking rectangular lights accompany this opening, along with another similar opening in the north-east return section. A sandstone ball finial crowns the wall at the corner.
