  Description

  Overlooking East Ferry and estuary to N, at N perimeter of Tower wood. Circular tower (H c. 10m; diam. c. 5m) built in 1815 to celebrate battle of same name (Dennehy 1990, 63). Lintelled door in S side; spiral stairs give access to parapet with brick battlements. Plaque over door inscribed "Waterloo 1815"; second plaque in memory of William Bagwell, builder of nearby East Grove House, c. 1826. Tower may have been built with stone from Ballynakilla castle which stood in vicinity of house (Healy 1988, 131).
