pierced by a doorway in the south side; opposite is a doorway
into the ground storey of the tower. Second storey has
opposing doorways on each of the east and west sides; lintel
to the former has collapsed. Segmental-headed window in each
storey on the north and south sides. Roofless. The tower is
clearly visible across the common from the A3022.
