WEST MARTELLO RANGE FINDER

Although we didn't "find" this mark (it's not really clear what it even was—could the steel pedestal be seen from a distance?) it was still a very exciting adventure. The West Martello Fort is now home to lush botanical gardens growing up, in and around the ruins of the old fort. We followed the coordinates to the remnants of this old brick tower. Only one level is evident and the ceiling is cemented in, so we can't really say what might have been on the higher level. What we found really cool was the imprint of the edge of a spiral staircase embedded in the concrete lining the tower.
