The tower initially reminds us of the ruins of a windmill. But it is probably a telegraphy tower for optical telegraphy from the early 19th century, which goes back to the Frenchman Claude Chappe around 1794. The next signal tower can be seen southwest of Monnáber Vell, 1-2 km away

This tower was used for optical telegraphy (before the invention of wired telegraphy, in the early 19th century). Another tower has been preserved 1-2 km away to the southwest.
