The tower, in 2009

Arnagill Tower is a historic building in Ilton-cum-Pott, a civil parish in North Yorkshire, in England.

The folly was built in 1824 on Masham Moor, to a design by John Foss. It is a round tower, with walls terminating about 10 feet (3.0 m) from the ground, to resemble a ruin.[1][2] It has one storey, and contains a doorway and three windows, all arched.[3] It is described by Gwyn Headley as a "Gothic mood piece", linked with the nearby Druid's Temple.[1] It was grade II listed in 1986.[3]
