Tower, dating from the mid 18th century. Two-storey, square-plan classically detailed tower of pink rubble sandstone with large irregular re-used quoins, some tooled and moulded and some traces of harling. Cavetto moulded wall head course. The slate roof, which was probably pyramidal, has collapsed and is now of flat corrugated metal. Both the north and south elevations have a full-width segmental arch, with irregular voussoirs on the south and regular ashlar voussoirs on the north, both with rubble infill and margined doors. The east and west elevations both have an arrow slit ventilator at the first floor. The precise date and purpose of this building has not been ascertained, but it may be part of the original castle or steading buildings incorporated into the later circa 1785 farmhouse buildings (NO33NE0077). It has the appearance of a classical pavilion. There were formerly single storey buildings adjoining the east and west elevations.
