Ruins of a tower between Hontanas and Castrojeriz

[Bert45]

Can you tell me anything about the structure in my photograph? What was it part of, when was it built? that sort of thing. Thanks.

In the Brierly guidebook it intimates that it is part of the ruins of a mill. Another source says the ruins were from Molino de Cubo and part of the village of San Miguel.

The mysterious tower is at

In my overstimulated imagination, it was attached to a rural residence, and the little porthole near the top enabled the country folk who lived there to sit inside and keep an eye on the doings of the big city folk in Hontanas, without themselves being seen.
