Description

Circular tower of 2 storeys of rubble sandstone, with a conical stone slated roof, possibly originally a dovecote on the upper floor as the S tower, but now plastered internally. Two 2-light hollow chamfered stone windows. The ground floor has a depressed Tudor chamfered doorcase at the garden corner, and the upper floor is approached independently by a walled dog-leg stair from a Tudor headed gate in the N garden wall, and originally had a raking roof. Similar chamfered stone doorcase into the tower at the head of the stair, with label over. Upper chamber ceiled.

A rebuilt rubble stone wall leads from the tower to the corner of the NE wing of the house.
