What is recorded here

Detached one-bay three-stage rendered tower, built c. 1840. Square plan. Roof missing. Unpainted roughcast walling, brick eaves course. Pointed-arch window openings (some built-up), stone sills, windows missing. Square-headed door opening, door missing. Set in field.
The original function of this little tower is unclear. Its size, shape and location suggest a possible military or coastguard use. It has quite good stonework and forms a striking feature in the coastal landscape.

This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
