Description
Freestanding single-bay single-stage turret, extant 1904, on a circular plan. Roof not visible behind parapet.

"Balistraria" centred on pointed-arch opening with overgrown threshold, and red brick block-and-start surround with no fittings surviving. Set in unkempt grounds shared with Cahore House.
Appraisal
A faux "medieval" turret contributing positively to the group and setting values of the Cahore House estate.
