What is recorded here
Freestanding square-plan two-stage castellated folly tower, built c. 1870, having slight batter to base. Rubble sandstone walls with string course to base of parapet and dressed sandstone copings to crenellations. Camber-headed window openings to top stage, with brick voussoirs. Pointed arch door opening with rubble sandstone voussoirs.
Built by Henry Braddell, purportedly to view the hunt, Modeligo tower is a fine example of folly structures built in Ireland. It forms a striking silhouette in the surrounding landscape. The tower forms part of an interesting group with Modeligo House.
