This short book makes a clear and cogent argument against the notion that the Newport Tower was built during the colonial period. In the course of making the argument, the author draws on architectural similarly with structures in the Orkney islands. The author also makes a good argument for the use of an obsolete system of measurement used in 14th century Scotland and Norway.I haven't done much reading on this subject, but am I the only one thinking of Henry Sinclair for the original builder?For me, this book creates as many questions in my mind as it answers. Which is just as I would have it!!
