Abstract: |
The Round Tower was constructed in a single episode during the major period of building at the Towers in the period 1810-40. This conclusion is drawn due to the lack of any phasing evidence observed during the archaeological recording. The only clear evidence of phasing in the structure are a second phase of work involving blocking some of the windows on the western face, date unknown, and some renovation brickwork in the lower portions of the eastern elevation. The Round Tower is an interesting part of the Alverton Lodge complex as a whole. It is in a state of disrepair and requires the proposed renovation work to preserve it to avoid it becoming structurally unsafe. |
