Details LUDGVAN SW 43 SE 7/18 Rogers' Tower - GV II Folly, probably used as look-out tower. C18. Granite rubble with rubble dressings. Corbelled granite dome under roof hidden behind parapet with pinnacles over the 4 corner turrets. Plan: square single cell plan with corner turrets. Gothic style. Exterior: south east entrance front with central pointed doorway with an outer ogee- headed order. Over the doorway in a blind polygonal 'quatrefoil'. Flanking the doorway are 2 identical turrets with shouldered-arched window to the fronts and outer sides and blind slits over. The rear turrets are blind. Interior: has domed granite ceiling and access to each of the turrets. No access to the roof. Probably associated with John Rogers of Treassowe, 1750-1832 (see Rogers chest tomb, item 8/45). A miniature castle set prominently on the hill of Castle an Dinas, so that the building gives the impression that it and the hill are much larger than they really are.
