Description
The building is a circular tower made of roughly squared sandstone rubble, dating from an unspecified period. It has a battered base and stands about 4.5 meters tall. The tower features three arrow slits that are framed in neater squared limestone blocks, as well as a larger rectangular opening, which is now headless and of unknown purpose, facing the river. The tower is truncated and roofless, and it is attached to the south west corner of The Hanbury Arms. Inside, there are remains of a basement vault and some brick repairs, but otherwise, the tower is featureless.
