There is indeed a stone house and many piles of stones that perhaps once formed a castle; however I have found nothing about this castle.

"The Devil's Bridge, dating back to the 2nd century BC, is an imposing structure that rises approximately 13 meters at its highest point. Its construction is characterized by 14 rows of overlapping stone blocks, which form a Roman-era terrace wall. Despite its evocative name, the exact function of this structure remains partly shrouded in mystery. Some consider it a real bridge, while others believe it may have been a retaining wall or a terrace structure linked to the ancient route of the Via Salaria. The Devil's Bridge represents one of the most significant archaeological presences in the area, testifying to the historical importance of the Via Salaria as the ancient "salt road". Its strategic position, among the olive groves of the Sabine hills and near the village of Ponticelli di Scandriglia, makes it a point of interest for both archaeology enthusiasts and tourists. Recently, projects have been launched to enhance this area rich in archaeological presences. An important step in this direction was the realization of a photogrammetric survey of the Devil's Bridge, presented during an event at the “Antica Via del Sale” Auditorium in Ponticelli Sabino. This detailed study will contribute to a better understanding and preservation of this important historical monument. The Devil's Bridge, together with other archaeological sites in the area, represents a unique opportunity to explore the rich history of Sabina and the ancient Via Salaria, offering visitors a fascinating journey into the region's Roman past."

"This farmhouse may have been a typical agricultural residence and it seems to have undergone various vicissitudes over the centuries. During the period of the agrarian reform, part of its land was redistributed, while in more recent times it has seen progressive abandonment and degradation. The name "Burned" could derive from war events or fires that damaged its structure in the past. Today the site represents an example of rural architecture and offers ideas for the historical and tourist valorization of the area." (to check)!
