It was commissioned by Henry Luttrell and designed by Richard Phelps and stands about {{convert|18|m|ft|0}} high so that it can be seen from Dunster Castle on the opposite hillside. There is no evidence that it ever had floors or a roof.[2] The name Conygar comes from two medieval words Coney meaning rabbit and Garth meaning garden, indicating that it was once a warren where rabbits were bred for food. In 1997 a survey carried out by The Crown Estate identified cracks in the walls which were repaired in 2000.[3] References1. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=264747|title=Conygar Tower |work=Images of England|publisher=English Heritage|accessdate=2009-05-27}} 2. ^{{cite book|last=Holt|first=Jonathan|title=Somerset Follies|publisher=Akeman Press|location=Bath|date=2007|pages=78–79|isbn=978-0-9546138-7-7}} 3. ^{{cite web|title=Conygar Tower - Dunster|url=http://www.everythingexmoor.org.uk/exmoor-encyclopedia/contents-list/35-c/275-conygar-tower-dunster.html|publisher=Everything Exmoor|accessdate=6 April 2011}} 7 : Towers completed in 1775|Grade II listed buildings in West Somerset|West Somerset|History of Somerset|Folly towers in England|Towers in Somerset|Listed towers in the United Kingdom |
