What is recorded here

Freestanding square-plan two-stage turret, built c. 1820. Battlemented top to turret with carved copings. Roughly dressed limestone walls having dressed quoins and cut limestone stringcourses to upper stage. Loop openings. Located within rubble stone boundary wall to Camas House.
This unusual folly-like turret forms part of the former Camas House estate. Located on the boundary wall of the estate, it functioned as a bell tower signalling those employed to work the agricultural lands of the Camas House demesne. Remaining in good condition, it retains notable features such as its crenellated battlements and loop windows.
