I've pulled together a page about Newport Tower, aka The Old Mill:
http://www.mids.org/sinclair/newport_tower.html
This has inline the material from Pete Cummings that was linked into
http://www.mids.org/sinclair/600/newport_tower.html
The new URL also has links to some other material, including pictures
of the Tower, and bibliographies on the various theories of its origin
(Vikings, Portuguese, Colonial, Benedict Arnold, etc.).
Also findable through New in
http://www.mids.org/sinclair/
Look for the little picture of the tower.
