Description

The building is a two-storey watchtower made of lias rubble. It has a battered base and features a corbelled parapet along with a string course. The seaward elevation includes a corner chimney stack on the first floor chamber, which is lit by a segmental-headed window. There is a former boat entrance with a segmental-headed arch, although the lower part has been blocked to create a window. The west elevation has a wide square-headed entry with boarded doors below and a camber-headed window above. The elevations facing east and north are blank.
