This black commemorative plaque records: ROUND TOWER The Round Tower, so called in 1454, started as a freestanding dovecote built in the late Thirteenth Century. In the mid Fourteenth Century when the adjacent town wall was built, the back of the round dovecote was demolished and the front heightened to form a half-round tower. The honeycomb construction of the original nesting boxes is still visible in the base of the tower. Subsequently the tower was used as a house in the late Eighteenth Century. Part of a brick domestic fireplace or oven survives. Recorded plaque organisation: City of Southampton.
