The observatory was built in the 1920s during the ownership of Duncan Alves and replaced a summer house previously on the site.
Observatory. Circular tower of rather dumpy proportion. Rendered rubblestone on simple plinth with rendered brick parapet and horizontal railing to flat roof. Round-headed windows with iron bars but no glazing and entrance on south-east reached by a short flight of steps; stone corbel table below parapet.
Interior not accessible at time of Survey (February 1999) but has one ground-floor room with staircase leading to viewing platform on roof.
Included as one of a number of garden structures erected in the 1920s, an important period for the development of the gardens and grounds at Bryn Bras Castle.
