In reclaimed pasture, at N end of hill crest with commanding view in all directions. Low semi-circular sod-covered mound extending c. 15m from E side of N-S field fence; some large stones scattered on W side of fence may be derived from former structure. Described by Fitzgerald and McGregor (1826, 381) as 'Jackson's Turret ... formerly the residence of Mr. Jackson ... this turret was a fine object to the surrounding country, but it is now nearly in ruins having been struck by lightning some years ago'; according to OSNB (vol. 1, 250) there was 'a notable old chimney in this turret of about 50 feet high in ruins'(sic); Westropp (1906-7, 226) noted a Miles Jackson 'holding land here in 1655'.
