The National Monuments Service's description

Situated on an artificial rise in a triangular green within Rush Village. This is a three-storey, cylindrical-shaped tower (ext. diam.6.10m, wall T 0.95m). It is built of randomly coursed masonry, which was once rendered. Now covered in graffiti. There is a relieving arch on the E side. It has opposed doorways in the N and S with flat segmental arches. These have been secured with metal doors. The interior is lit by slit opes above the doors in the SE and NNE. A basement feature extends south east of the tower (L 2m). (Healy 1975, 20). The vault arch has been stabilized.
