The remains of a circular tower, 4.75m diameter, with walls about 1.2m thick, rising a height of about 4.8m, with two internal offsets: interpreted as a windmill, or watch/beacon tower: as a watch tower of the early seventeenth century, when raiding was rife, it can be compared with & linked to the apparently similar towers at Abergele (Nprn303360) and Whitford (Nprn33228).
