What is recorded here
Detached square-profile four-stage crenellated tower, built c. 1861. Roughly dressed stone and brick walls with string courses. Square-headed and round-arched openings. Roughly dressed stone boundary walls.
The Tower Gardens were laid out by Mr. M. Callanan in the 1860s and this tower formed the centre piece of these interesting grounds. Though the gardens are now built on, and the other related structures have been demolished, the tower remains an interesting reminder of the civic amenity which was created in this area by Callanan. Located on an elevated site, the tower is visible from many areas of the city and is a notable addition to the skyline.
