What is recorded here
Freestanding single-bay single-stage tower, extant 1894, on an octagonal plan. Now disused. Roof now missing. Lichen-covered coursed rubble limestone walls. Round-headed door opening with remains of limestone ashlar voussoirs[?]. Set back from road in unkempt grounds.
A polygonal tower, 'either a watch house or a pigeon house – probably the latter' (ITA 1945), not only surviving as an interesting relic of a long-forgotten estate annotated as "Brownstown [of] Browne Esquire" by Taylor and Skinner (1778 pl. 216), but also clearly illustrating the continued development or "improvement" of the estate in the later nineteenth century.
This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
