Round Gun Tower on Cat Hill
Round Gun Tower on Cat Hill
One of two gun towers on Cat Hill, this one on the lower part of the hill is round, the other one on the summit of the hill is square. Built for defensive purposes by General Munro during the Napoleonic Wars. This curious tower has two smaller towers inside the outer tower. The outer wall of the main tower has fallen away, out of shot to the right.
