Folly, originally related to Moretonk, Abbotsham Road (qv),
but now in garden of late C20 house (not listed) called
Rosemullion. Early C19. Stone rubble. Consists of a
semi-circular piece of walling designed on the W side to
resemble a small medieval castle. Slightly convex 2-stage
centre with round turret at each side. Raised band between the
stages. Each turret has a pointed-arched doorway (blocked in
1990) in the lower stage with a narrow flat-headed window in
the upper stage. Double raised band at the top of each turret,
that to left with a plain parapet above, that to right with 8
mock arrow-slits and part of a conical roof. Centre has in
upper stage 3 tall blind recesses with cranked heads and
parapet with 3 arrow-slits. There is no INTERIOR to the
structure, but before the doorways were blocked in it is said
to have been possible to climb the turrets.
