What is recorded here

Freestanding single-bay three-stage rubble stone tower, c.1750, on a circular plan. Now in ruins. Roof now missing (original profile not discerned). Random rubble stone walls with batter, and stringcourse to top stage with remains of blocking course/parapet over. Square-headed window openings with no sills, rubble stone voussoirs, and no fittings. Square-headed door opening with rubble stone voussoirs, and no fittings. Set back from road in grounds shared with Glenshelane with overgrown grounds to site.

A structure of some intrigue on account of the mystery surrounding its original intended role. The tower has variously been described as a windmill stump or a memorial tower in the vein of the Le Poer Tower (22900403/WD-04-03). Now in a dishevelled condition, the building presents an unassuming feature of Romantic quality in the landscape.
