This medieval watchtower dominated the entire valley. Built of limestone, it measures approximately 10 metres high, with a 6-metre interior diameter and walls 1.80-metres thick. The two-storey interior has a semi-spherical vault ceiling. The remains of the thatching on the top floor can still been seen. For defensive purposes, none of the stairways are complete. According to a document from 1292, during the reign of King James II, thirty-five men were posted in the village for defence, eight of whom were located in the castle and four in this tower.
