This 19th-century watchtower stands 100 feet tall, offering panoramic views of the surrounding countryside from its lantern room. Built in 1835, the tower's robust stone walls and slender windows evoke a sense of medieval fortification, while its elegant proportions and refined detailing speak to the era's architectural sophistication.
Never used as a watch tower, if anything it was a folly built in 1731 and more a lookout point over Springhill Wood and the surrounding countryside and Slieve Gallion
A lovely ruin of a tower built in 1731, the shell of the tower are still accessible and only a short walk from the main house
Very pretty and peaceful walk.
Good for kids
