Standing on the cliffs at Kingsgate, next to a golf course, this folly was built at around the same time as Kingsgate Castle. It was constructed in the shape of a typical Henrican castle but on a much smaller scale, with four bastions and a tower in the central courtyard (demolished in the 1970's), the footings of which can still be seen. The tower was used by the Royal Observer Corps as a look out post during World War II.
