Description

A tall, square stone tower with a crenellated parapet fills most of the frame, its walls of regular masonry pierced by small windows and an arched doorway at the base. A small bushy tree stands in front of the lower walls, and broken walls and rubble lie on raised ground in the foreground. Branches hang across the top corners against a pale sky.
