The National Monuments Service's description
In the SW quadrant of the ringwork (CV042-017001-) there is a low, narrow, stone-built circular tower standing on a larger rounded stone structure which appears to be a folly probably of late 18th or early 19th-century construction. The monument is densely overgrown with vegetation rendering inspection difficult. (Davies 1947a, 86)
