There are three narrow arched windows on the bottom floor, not including the one at ground level that can be seen in the picture, and two similar windows on what was once the first floor. It looks like there were once also two more windows at the door-side of the tower, judging by the remains. There is a small pile of stones nearby, but it doesn't appear that the condition of the tower is deteriorating quickly - an image on the Canmore website from 1990 looks identical to this one.
