The observatory consisted of an octagonal two-storey tower with a conical roof and vertical side-slits. The roof and internal structure have fallen in and steel struts have been used to brace the walls. Although it is protected as an ancient monument there is no sign of any attempt to restore this fascinating building (Griff Rees Jones, where are you?).
