What is recorded here

Situated on the W-facing slope of a hill in gently rolling former pasture, immediately E of a disused quarry. Structure shown on 1840 OS map and named 'Turret' is located in an area of dense scrub vegetation and it was not possible to find any standing remains of the structure. It was probably an eyecatcher/folly as it is located close in a prominent position close to the entrance into the demesne of Tower Hill country house which was built in 1800 (see Spellissy 1989, 135).
