Full Description
3 March 1977. Visit by E. Rose (NAU).
'Tower' according to the Ordnance Survey. According to neighbouring cottagers this was a silver fox farm whose owner used to sit up the tower and watch the foxes. The tower was erected 'before anyone can remember' and demolished
in about 1945. No trace of it remains in the pasture field.
