The newer of the two major fortifications was built in 1651 by Parliamentary troops after taking the island from the Royalists. With his well-fortified cannons on the top of the tower, he dominated the entrance to New Grimsby Sound. The tower is freely accessible and has a beautiful vaulted room inside. There is a beautiful view from the upper platform.
