What is recorded here
Circular building located on top of high ground with panoramic views in all directions. This building appears to be 18th century in date as it is marked as a ruin on the 1837 OS Fair Plan where it is labelled in pencil as 'Belfry Ruins'. This building is described in the OS memoranda as 'A building to hang a bell situated on top of a hill which was used for the purpose of calling the workmen to the adjacent mill' (SMR file). On the 1837 OS 6-inch map the corn mill is located 220m to the SSE of the belfry.
