The Candle Tower formed part of the service courtyard of the mansion, and is probably contemporary with this remodelling, built c1802-8, when turrets were known to have been added to Penrhos. Circular corner tower to wall screening service courtyard to the E side of the former mansion. Built of rubble masonry, walls are crenellated and the tower has battered base below a stringcourse. Dressed stone window surrounds including one lancet. Entered from terrace of the former house and with one floor internally. The attached walls run at right angles to the tower and, towards the farm to N, includes a cusped Gothic arch with similarly detailed bracketed slate sill.
