    These are the ruins of a 12th century building, which was subsequently rebuilt in the 14th century as a Pele tower (a small fortified tower) to protect against Scots raiders. The castle was occupied by some of the Wharton family (there is Wharton Hall in the area, south-west of Kirkby Stephen), but abandoned in the 17th century.
