It was in fact a gamekeepers' lookout.

It was not surprising that I could not find it as it was demolished in 1935. It was constructed 1850 by Lord Walsingham in the form of a castellated half round block with tall round tower and gabled rear block, on the lines of the Blicking tower. It is stated by the West Tofts Camp exhibition to have been a shepherd's lookout and a well house.
