Kinley Hill Tower
The listed building is a late C18 or early C19 gazebo in the form of a squat tower made of random limestone rubble with sandstone window surrounds. Derelict but relatively intact in 2004 it suffered collapse during a storm in 2006. Work is currently in progress to underpin its walls with concrete and rebuild its ruined walls.

Kinley Hill Tower
Built in the 1830's by Major George Anderson as a folly or eyecatcher from Hawthorn Tower. The structure is in the revived Gothick style of the Georgian period. At some point the building may have been fitted out as a summer house for the Anderson estate. Later in the 19th century or possibly early 20th century the building appears to have been used as a residence Link
